“…And recently, chaotic theory has found applications in the area of metaheuristics. Up to now, chaotic sequences have been combined with several metaheuristic algorithms, such as imperialist competitive algorithm (Talatahari et al 2012), FA (Gandomi et al 2013c), charged system search (Nouhi et al 2013), chaotic swarming of particles (CSP) (Kaveh et al 2014), BA (Gandomi and Yang 2014), KH algorithm (Wang et al 2014d), memetic DE algorithm (Jia et al 2011) and PSO (Gandomi et al 2013d).…”
