Chaotic Attributes and Permutative Optimization

Abstract

Population dynamics and its relation to chaotic systems is analyzed in this Chapter. Using basic chaotic principles of attractors and edges, a dynamic population is developed, which is used to induce and retain diversity in a metaheuristic population. Simulation is done with Genetic Algorithm, Differential Evolution and Self-Organizing Migrating Algorithm on the combinatorial problem of Quadratic Assignment with promising results.
