MCEDA: A novel many-objective optimization approach based on model and clustering

To solve many-objective optimization problems (MaOPs) by evolutionary algorithms (EAs), the maintenance of convergence and diversity is essential and difficult. Improved multi-objective optimization evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs), usually based on the genetic algorithm (GA), have been applied to MaOPs, which use the crossover and mutation operators of GAs to generate new solutions. In this paper, a new approach, based on decomposition and the MOEA/D framework, is proposed: model and clustering based estimation of distribution algorithm (MCEDA). MOEA/D means the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition. The proposed MCEDA is a new estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) framework, which is intended to extend the application of estimation of distribution algorithm to MaOPs. MCEDA was implemented by two similar algorithm, MCEDA/B (based on bits model) and MCEDA/RM (based on regular model) to deal with MaOPs. In MCEDA, the problem is decomposed into several subproblems. For each subproblem, clustering algorithm is applied to divide the population into several subgroups. On each subgroup, an estimation model is created to generate the new population. In this work, two kinds of models are adopted, the new proposed bits model and the regular model used in RM-MEDA (a regularity model based multi-objective estimation of distribution algorithm). The non-dominated selection operator is applied to improve convergence. The proposed algorithms have been tested on the benchmark test suite for evolutionary algorithms (DTLZ). The comparison with several state-of-the-art algorithms indicates that the proposed MCEDA is a competitive and promising approach.     

MOEA/D线性插入方向向量策略研究

MOEA/D具有良好的收敛性、均匀的分布性、求解效率高等优点,普遍应用于求解多目标优化问题.然而对于Pareto前端复杂的多目标优化问题,预先设定均匀的权重向量并不能够维持Pareto最优解集的良好分布性.本文,首先分析均匀分布的权重向量、均匀分布的搜索方向二者与均匀分布的解集之间的关系,提出一种新的权重向量设置方式;其次基于进化过程中解集的分布,提出线性插入搜索方向策略,并将其转换为对应的权重向量,同时在MOEA/D中周期性应用该策略调整搜索方向,获取分布均匀的解集;最后将该算法在WFG系列测试问题上进行性能测试,并采用世代距离指标(GD)、Spacing指标(S)、超体积指标(HV)对算法收敛性和多样性进行对比分析,实验结果表明,与原始的MOEA/D、使用均匀分布的搜索方向MOEA/D、使用预处理的M OEA/D、M OEA/D-DU相比,改进的算法求出解集的多样性极大提高,收敛性明显增强,解集的整体质量显著提高.     

Multiobjective memetic algorithm based on decomposition

In recent years, hybridization of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) with traditional mathematical programming techniques have received significant attention in the field of evolutionary computing (EC). The use of multiple strategies with self-adaptation manners can further improve the algorithmic performances of decomposition-based evolutionary algorithms. In this paper, we propose a new multiobjective memetic algorithm based on the decomposition approach and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. For brevity, we refer to our developed approach as MOEA/D-DE+PSO. In our proposed methodology, PSO acts as a local search engine and differential evolution works as the main search operator in the whole process of optimization. PSO updates the position of its solution with the help of the best information on itself and its neighboring solution. The experimental results produced by our developed memtic algorithm are more promising than those of the simple MOEA/D algorithm, on most test problems. Results on the sensitivity of the suggested algorithm to key parameters such as population size, neighborhood size and maximum number of solutions to be altered for a given subproblem in the decomposition process are also included.     

MOEA/D with uniform decomposition measurement for many-objective problems

Many-objective problems (MAPs) have put forward a number of challenges to classical Pareto-dominance based multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) for the past few years. Recently, researchers have suggested that MOEA/D (multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition) can work for MAPs. However, there exist two difficulties in applying MOEA/D to solve MAPs directly. One is that the number of constructed weight vectors is not arbitrary and the weight vectors are mainly distributed on the boundary of weight space for MAPs. The other is that the relationship between the optimal solution of subproblem and its weight vector is nonlinear for the Tchebycheff decomposition approach used by MOEA/D. To deal with these two difficulties, we propose an improved MOEA/D with uniform decomposition measurement and the modified Tchebycheff decomposition approach (MOEA/D-UDM) in this paper. Firstly, a novel weight vectors initialization method based on the uniform decomposition measurement is introduced to obtain uniform weight vectors in any amount, which is one of great merits to use our proposed algorithm. The modified Tchebycheff decomposition approach, instead of the Tchebycheff decomposition approach, is used in MOEA/D-UDM to alleviate the inconsistency between the weight vector of subproblem and the direction of its optimal solution in the Tchebycheff decomposition approach. The proposed MOEA/D-UDM is compared with two state-of-the-art MOEAs, namely MOEA/D and UMOEA/D on a number of MAPs. Experimental results suggest that the proposed MOEA/D-UDM outperforms or performs similarly to the other compared algorithms in terms of hypervolume and inverted generational distance metrics on different types of problems. The effects of uniform weight vector initializing method and the modified Tchebycheff decomposition are also studied separately.     

基于多目标进化算法的MOEA/D权重向量产生方法

在进化多目标优化研究领域,多目标优化是指对含有2个及以上目标的多目标问题的同时优化,其在近些年来受到越来越多的关注。随着MOEA/D的提出,基于聚合的多目标进化算法得到越来越多的研究,对MOEA/D算法的改进已有较多成果,但是很少有成果研究MOEA/D中权重的产生方法。提出一种使用多目标进化算法产生任意多个均匀分布的权重向量的方法,将其应用到MOEA/D,MSOPS和NSGA-III中,对这3个经典的基于聚合的多目标进化算法进行系统的比较研究。通过该类算法在DTLZ测试集、多目标旅行商问题MOTSP上的优化结果来分别研究该类算法在连续性问题、组合优化问题上的优化能力,以及使用矩形测试问题使得多目标进化算法的优化结果在决策空间可视化。实验结果表明,没有一个算法能适用于所有特性的问题。然而,MOEA/D采用不同聚合函数的两个算法MOEA/D_Tchebycheff和MOEA/D_PBI在多数情况下的性能比MSOPS和NSGA-III更好。     

Utopian point based decomposition for multi-objective optimization problems with complicated Pareto fronts

Multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D) has been considered as a promising method for solving multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs). It devotes most of its effort on convergence by optimizing a set of scalar optimization subproblems in a collaborative manner, while maintaining the diversity by using a set of uniformly distributed weight vectors. However, more recent studies illustrated that MOEA/D faces difficulties on MOPs with complicated Pareto fronts, mainly because the uniformity of weight vectors no longer lead to an evenly scattered approximation of the Pareto fronts in these cases. To remedy this, we suggest replacing the ideal point in the reciprocal Tchebycheff decomposition method with a more optimistic utopian point, with the aim of alleviating the sensitivity of MOEA/D to the Pareto front shape of MOPs. Experimental studies on benchmark and real-world problems have shown that such simple modification can significantly improve the performances of MOEA/D with reciprocal Tchebycheff decomposition on MOPs with complicated Pareto fronts.
