尽管许多高维多目标进化算法已被提出,但平衡种群收敛性与多样性的困难仍然存在.对此,提出一种基于指标选择和密度评估删除的高维多目标进化算法(indicator selection and density estimation deletion-based manyobjective evolutionary algorithm, MaOEA/IS-DED).该算法在环境选择过程中采用基于Iε+(x, y)指标的选择策略和基于移动的密度评估删除机制协作逐一剔除种群中收敛性和多样性差的个体,进而使种群个体从多样性好的搜索方向上收敛于真实Pareto前沿,完成平衡收敛性与多样性.具体地,前者选择Iε+(x, y)指标值最小的一对个体,其在空间中表现为搜索方向最相似的个体;后者利用自身兼顾种群收敛性和多样性的特性,比较被选的这对个体且删除这对个体中收敛性和多样性较差的个体.实验结果表明, MaOEA/IS-DED算法在处理高维多目标优化问题时能获得较强的竞争性能.

A many-objective evolutionary algorithm based on hyperplane projection and penalty distance selection

For many-objective optimization problems, due to the low selection pressure of the Pareto-dominance relation and the ineffectivity of diversity maintenance scheme in the environmental selection, the current Pareto-dominance based multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) fail to balance between convergence and diversity. This paper proposes a many-objective evolutionary algorithm based on hyperplane projection and penalty distance selection (we call it MaOEA-HP). Firstly, the normalization method is used to construct an unit hyperplane and the population is projected onto the unit hyperplane. Then, a harmonic average distance is applied to calculate the crowding density of the projected points on the unit hyperplane. Finally, the perpendicular distance from the individual to the hyperplane as convergence information is added into the diversity maintenance phase, and a penalty distance selection scheme is designed to balance between convergence and diversity of solutions. Compared with six state-of-the-art many-objective evolutionary algorithms, the experimental results on two well-known many-objective optimization test suites show that MaOEA-HP has more advantage than the other algorithms, could improve the convergence and ensure the uniform distribution.     

A radial space division based evolutionary algorithm for many-objective optimization

In evolutionary many-objective optimization, diversity maintenance plays an important role in pushing the population towards the Pareto optimal front. Existing many-objective evolutionary algorithms mainly focus on convergence enhancement, but pay less attention to diversity enhancement, which may fail to obtain uniformly distributed solutions or fall into local optima. This paper proposes a radial space division based evolutionary algorithm for many-objective optimization, where the solutions in high-dimensional objective space are projected into the grid divided 2-dimensional radial space for diversity maintenance and convergence enhancement. Specifically, the diversity of the population is emphasized by selecting solutions from different grids, where an adaptive penalty based approach is proposed to select a better converged solution from the grid with multiple solutions for convergence enhancement. The proposed algorithm is compared with five state-of-the-art many-objective evolutionary algorithms on a variety of benchmark test problems. Experimental results demonstrate the competitiveness of the proposed algorithm in terms of both convergence enhancement and diversity maintenance.

Binary search based boundary elimination selection in many-objective evolutionary optimization

In many-objective optimization, the balance between convergence and diversity is hard to maintain, while the dominance resistant solutions (DRSs) could further harm the balance particularly in high-dimensional objective space. Thus, this paper proposes a novel selection strategy – boundary elimination selection based on binary search (called BESBS), trying to avoid the impact of DRSs during the optimization and achieve a good balance between the convergence and diversity simultaneously. During the environmental selection, the binary search (BS) is used to adaptively adjust the ϵ value in the ϵ-dominance relationship and assist in detecting the well-distributed neighbors for the elite solutions. Then the ϵ value obtained by BS is used for serving the boundary elimination selection (BES) to guarantee the stability of the elite population. To improve the convergence, BES is mainly designed to select individuals approximating to the ideal point. By modifying the fitness of solutions and choosing solutions in terms of the shuffled sequence of objective axis, the DRSs will be eliminated during the selection. Thus, BESBS could achieve a good balance between the convergence and diversity and avoid the impact from DRSs simultaneously. From a series of experiments with 35 instances, the experimental results have shown that BESBS is competitive against 8 state-of-art many-objective evolutionary algorithms.     

A many-objective evolutionary algorithm based on a projection-assisted intra-family election

In recent years, many researchers have put emphasis on the study of how to keep a good balance between convergence and diversity in many-objective optimization. This paper proposes a new many-objective evolutionary algorithm based on a projection-assisted intra-family election. In the proposed algorithm, basic evolution directions are adaptively generated according to the current population and potential evolution directions are excavated in each individual's family. Based on these evolution directions, a strategy of intra-family election is performed in every family and elite individuals are elected as representatives of the specific family to join the next stage, which can enhance the convergence of the algorithm. Moreover, a selection procedure based on angles is used to maintain the diversity. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified and compared with several state-of-the-art many-objective evolutionary algorithms on a variety of well-known benchmark problems ranging from 5 to 20 objectives. Empirical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms other peer algorithms in terms of both the diversity and the convergence of the final solutions set on most of the test instances. In particular, our proposed algorithm shows obvious superiority when handling the problems with larger number of objectives.     

A novel two-archive strategy for evolutionary many-objective optimization algorithm based on reference points

Current evolutionary many-objective optimization algorithms face two challenges: one is to ensure population diversity for searching the entire solution space. The other is to ensure quick convergence to the optimal solution set. In this paper, we propose a novel two-archive strategy for evolutionary many-objective optimization algorithm. The uniform archive strategy, based on reference points, is used to keep population diversity in the evolutionary process, and to ensure that an evolutionary algorithm is able to search the entire solution space. The single elite archive strategy is used to ensure that individuals with the best single objective value are able to evolve into the next generation and have more opportunities to generate offspring. This strategy aims to improve the convergence rate. Then this novel two-archive strategy is applied to improving the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-III). Simulation experiments are conducted on benchmark test sets and experimental results show that our proposed algorithm with the two-archive strategy has a better performance than other state-of-art algorithms.
