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

الملخص EN

We present and discuss philosophy and methodology of chaotic evolution that is theoretically supported by chaos theory.

We introduce four chaotic systems, that is, logistic map, tent map, Gaussian map, and Hénon map, in a well-designed chaotic evolution algorithm framework to implement several chaotic evolution (CE) algorithms.

By comparing our previous proposed CE algorithm with logistic map and two canonical differential evolution (DE) algorithms, we analyse and discuss optimization performance of CE algorithm.

An investigation on the relationship between optimization capability of CE algorithm and distribution characteristic of chaotic system is conducted and analysed.

From evaluation result, we find that distribution of chaotic system is an essential factor to influence optimization performance of CE algorithm.

We propose a new interactive EC (IEC) algorithm, interactive chaotic evolution (ICE) that replaces fitness function with a real human in CE algorithm framework.

There is a paired comparison-based mechanism behind CE search scheme in nature.

A simulation experimental evaluation is conducted with a pseudo-IEC user to evaluate our proposed ICE algorithm.

The evaluation result indicates that ICE algorithm can obtain a significant better performance than or the same performance as interactive DE.

Some open topics on CE, ICE, fusion of these optimization techniques, algorithmic notation, and others are presented and discussed.
