The chaos operator to combat premature convergence concerning two goals of maintaining diversity in the population and sustaining the convergence capacity of the GA is introduced. In the CHaos Genetic Algorithm (CHGA), the population is recycled dynamically whereas the most highly fit chromosome is intact so as to restore diversity and reserve the best schemata which may belong to the optimal solution.
