ABSTRACT

Deterministic chaos and evolutionary algorithms (EAs) seem to be two different areas of research that are not joined together, but this is not in fact true. Both areas are tightly joined, as is discussed in this chapter. Because the discussed topics are wide and it is not possible to discuss all in the limited space of this chapter, only the main ideas are reported here. For detailed study, it is recommended to use references provided in the chapter. To better understand the background and consequently discussed mutual relations between chaos and evolutionary dynamics, that is in the fact discrete dynamical system, a brief overview of EAs is done here. For more detailed text about evolutionary techniques, it is recommended to read [1–4].
