基于线性权重最优支配的高维多目标优化算法

在高维多目标优化问题中,Pareto支配关系存在非支配解随优化目标数增加呈指数级增长和种群选择压力下降等问题。针对这些问题,基于线性权重聚合函数和支配关系两种比较多目标解方法的思想,提出一种线性权重最优支配关系（LWM-dominance）,并理论证明了LWM非支配解集是Pareto非支配解集的子集,同时保留了种群中重要的角解。进一步地,基于LWM支配关系,实现了一个高维多目标进化优化算法,基于该算法的实验验证了LWM支配关系的性质。在随机解空间中的实验结果表明LWM支配关系适用于5~15个目标的高维多目标优化问题,通过DTLZ1~DTLZ7高维多目标优化问题进化过程中LWM非支配解集与Pareto非支配解集规模的对比实验,结果表明优化目标数为10和15时非支配解的比例平均下降了约17%。     

基于种群关联策略和强化解集准则的高维多目标进化算法

一般的高维多目标进化算法无法有效处理不同类型的Pareto前沿.针对这一情况,提出一种基于种群关联策略和强化解集准则的高维多目标进化算法(many-objective evolutionary algorithm based on population association strategy and enhanced solution set criterion, MaOEA/PAS-ESC).该算法在环境选择中采用种群关联策略(population association strategy, PAS)和强化解集准则(enhanced solution set criterion, ESC)协同指导种群进化. PAS利用解与参考向量的角度和欧氏距离以及种群中解之间的距离构建角度与距离联合函数(joint function of angle and distance, JFAD),选择多样性良好的解,然后ESC利用参考点与种群间的联系组成适应度函数,选择收敛性良好的解,以共同达到有效平衡多样性和收敛性的目的.实验结果表明,采用MaOEA/PAS-ESC处理高维多目标优化问题具有更强的竞...     

基于目标迁移和条件替代的高维多目标进化算法

尽管许多高维多目标进化算法已被提出,但大多仍无法有效处理具有不规则Pareto前沿的高维多目标优化问题.鉴于此,提出基于目标迁移和条件替代的高维多目标进化算法(MaOEA-OTCR),在环境选择过程中利用目标迁移策略和条件替代准则协作逐一选择收敛性和多样性好的个体进入下一代.前者首先选择位于Pareto前沿边界的极值解进入下一代,以确定Pareto前沿的范围,同时选择收敛性最好的若干个体进入下一代,以加速种群收敛;然后迁移已选解集且利用迁移解集和未迁移解集的最大距离来选择收敛性和多样性好的个体进入下一代.后者利用基于角度和收敛性评估的条件取代准则来防止前者过度强调多样性.此外,提出一个多标准决策的匹配选择策略,旨在增加具有良好收敛性和多样性种群个体结合的概率,进一步提升算法的搜索效率.为了验证MaOEA-OTCR的有效性,在3个测试集上与8个先进的高维多目标进化算法进行对比实验.实验结果表明, MaOEA-OTCR在处理高维多目标优化问题时不仅能够获得较强的竞争性能,而且有能力处理具有不规则Pareto前沿的高维多目标优化问题.     

基于alpha支配的高维目标进化算法研究

基于Pareto支配的多目标进化算法能够很好地处理2～3维的多目标优化问题。但在处理高维多目标问题时,随着目标维数的增大,支配受阻解的数量急剧增加,导致现有的多目标算法存在选择压力不够、优化效果较差的问题。通过引入α支配提供严格的Pareto分层,在同层中挑选相对稀疏的解作为候选解,同时详细分析不同α对算法性能的影响,提出一种新的基于α偏序和拥塞距离抽样的高维目标进化算法。将该算法在DTLZ上进行性能测试,并采用世代距离(GD)、空间评价(SP)、超体积(HV)等多个指标评估算法的性能。实验结果表明,引入α支配能去除绝大部分支配受阻解(DRSs),提高算法的收敛性。与快速非支配排序算法(NSGA-II)、基于分解的多目标进化算法(MOEA/D)、基于距离更新的分解多目标进化算法(MOEA/D-DU)相比,该算法的整体解集的质量 有明显提高。

融合张角拥挤控制策略的高维多目标优化

对于高维多目标优化问题,随着目标维数的增加,种群中非被支配解的比例剧增, 严重降低了种群的进化压力.为了对数量众多的非被支配解进行有效的拥挤控制并提升种群的多样性, 本文在提出张角概念的基础上设计了一种新的拥挤控制策略(Congestion control strategy based on open angle, CCSOA),它的时间复杂度并不会随着目标维数的增加而增大. 与目前优秀的进化多目标优化(Evolutionary multiobjective optimization, EMO)算法IBEA (Indicator-based evolutionary algorithm)、NSGAIII (Nondominated sorting genetic algorithm III)和GrEA (Grid-based evolutionary algorithm)的比较结果表明, 融合了CCSOA的高维多目标优化算法在收敛效果和解集分布的均匀性两个方面均有较大的优势.

Handling many-objective optimisation problems with R2 indicator and decomposition-based particle swarm optimiser

An R2 indicator-based multi-objective particle swarm optimiser (R2-MOPSO) can obtain well-convergence and well-distributed solutions while solving two and three objectives optimisation problems. However, R2-MOPSO faces difficulty to tackle many-objective optimisation problems because balancing convergence and diversity is a key issue in high-dimensional objective space. In order to address this issue, this paper proposes a novel algorithm, named R2-MaPSO, which combines the R2 indicator and decomposition-based archiving pruning strategy into particle swarm optimiser for many-objective optimisation problems. The innovations of the proposed algorithm mainly contains three crucial factors: (1) A bi-level archiving maintenance approach based on the R2 indicator and objective space decomposition strategy is designed to balance convergence and diversity. (2) The global-best leader selection is based on the R2 indicator and the personal-best leader selection is based on the Pareto dominance. Meanwhile, the objective space decomposition leader selection adopts the feedback information from the bi-level archive. (3) A new velocity updated method is modified to enhance the exploration and exploitation ability. In addition, an elitist learning strategy and a smart Gaussian learning strategy are embedded into R2-MaPSO to help the algorithm jump out of the local optimal front. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated and compared with some algorithms on a number of unconstraint benchmark problems, i.e. DTLZ1-DTLZ4, WFG test suites from 3 to 15 objectives. Experimental results have demonstrated a better performance of the proposed algorithm compared with several multi-objective particle swarm optimisers and multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for many-objective optimisation problems.     

An objective reduction algorithm using representative Pareto solution search for many-objective optimization problems

In recent years, many-objective optimization problems (i.e. more than three objectives) have attracted the interests of many researchers. The main difficulties of many-objective optimization problems lie in high computational cost, stagnation in search process, etc. It is almost impossible to design an algorithm effective for all problems. However, for some problems, especially for problems with redundant objectives, it is possible to design effective algorithms by removing the redundant objectives and keeping the non-redundant objectives so that the original problem becomes the one with much fewer objectives. To do so, first, a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm-based decomposition is adopted to generate a smaller number of representative non-dominated solutions widely distributed on the Pareto front. Then the conflicting objective pairs are identified through these non-dominated solutions, and the redundant objectives are determined by these pairs and then removed. Based on these, a fast non-redundant objectives generation algorithm is proposed in this paper. Finally, the experiments are conducted on a set of benchmark test problems and the results indicate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.     

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.     

基于混合支配策略的多偏好协同进化算法*

基于目标向量的多偏好协同进化算法无法识别处于同一适应值水平上的候选解之间的Pareto支配关系,导致所获解集在Pareto前沿分布不均匀.鉴于此种情况,文中提出基于混合支配策略的多偏好协同进化算法.首先对种群进行Pareto支配排序,再计算候选解的适应值,降低种群中非支配解比例,增加选择压力.同时,将目标空间中候选解的距离信息融入到适应值赋值方法中,惩罚处于同一适应值水平但距离理想解较远的候选解,提高解集前沿的分布均匀性.最后在12个WFG系列和DTLZ系列测试函数上的实验表明,文中算法在大部分测试函数上所获解集整体质量较优.     

A preference multi-objective optimization based on adaptive rank clone and differential evolution

Evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO) algorithms have been used in various real-world applications. However, most of the Pareto domination based multi-objective optimization evolutionary algorithms are not suitable for many-objective optimization. Recently, EMO algorithm incorporated decision maker’s preferences became a new trend for solving many-objective problems and showed a good performance. In this paper, we first use a new selection scheme and an adaptive rank based clone scheme to exploit the dynamic information of the online antibody population. Moreover, a special differential evolution (DE) scheme is combined with directional information by selecting parents for the DE calculation according to the ranks of individuals within a population. So the dominated solutions can learn the information of the non-dominated ones by using directional information. The proposed method has been extensively compared with two-archive algorithm, light beam search non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II and preference rank immune memory clone selection algorithm over several benchmark multi-objective optimization problems with from two to ten objectives. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm achieves competitive results.
