/**
 * <p>
 * Random Key chromosome is used for permutation representation. It is a vector
 * of a fixed length of real numbers in [0,1] interval. The index of the i-th
 * smallest value in the vector represents an i-th member of the permutation.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * For example, the random key [0.2, 0.3, 0.8, 0.1] corresponds to the
 * permutation of indices (3,0,1,2). If the original (unpermuted) sequence would
 * be (a,b,c,d), this would mean the sequence (d,a,b,c).
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * With this representation, common operators like n-point crossover can be
 * used, because any such chromosome represents a valid permutation.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Since the chromosome (and thus its arrayRepresentation) is immutable, the
 * array representation is sorted only once in the constructor.
 * </p>
