From Determinism and Probability to Chaos: Chaotic Evolution towards Philosophy and Methodology of Chaotic Optimization

Figure 1

Chaotic evolution algorithm framework; there are three special vectors in chaotic evolution algorithm, a target vector that is an individual in the population, a mutant vector that simulates the chaotic motion from a chaotic system, and a chaotic vector that is made by conducting crossover operation on a target vector and a mutation vector.
