 Individual... individuals)
                     throws IncompatibleConfigurationException

Executes a specific crossover scheme.

Parameters:

p - population of individuals.

X - target/current individual.

V - mutant individual.

individuals - auxiliar individuals needed that cannot be computed from population.

Returns:

U, the trial individual, without checking the bounds with the IPR.
