Main Abstract:
The quality of solution sets generated by decomposition-based evolutionary multiobjective optimisation (EMO) algorithms depends heavily on the consistency between a given problem's Pareto front shape and the specified weights' distribution. A set of weights distributed uniformly in a simplex often lead to a set of well-distributed solutions on a Pareto front with a simplex-like shape, but may fail on other Pareto front shapes. It is an open problem on how to specify a set of appropriate weights without the information of the problem's Pareto front beforehand. In this paper, we propose an approach to adapt the weights during the evolutionary process (called AdaW). AdaW progressively seeks a suitable distribution of weights for the given problem by elaborating five parts in the weight adaptation --- weight generation, weight addition, weight deletion, archive maintenance, and weight update frequency. Experimental results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed approach. AdaW works well for Pareto fronts with very different shapes: 1) the simplex-like, 2) the inverted simplex-like, 3) the highly nonlinear, 4) the disconnect, 5) the degenerated, 6) the badly-scaled, and 7) the high-dimensional.

[1]: Multiple-objective metaheuristics, e.g., multiple-objective evolutionary algorithms, constitute one of the most active fields of multiple-objective optimization. Since 1985, a significant number of different methods have been proposed. However, only few comparative studies of the methods were performed on large-scale problems. We continue two comparative experiments on the multiple-objective 0 1 knapsack problem reported in the literature. We compare the performance of two multiple-objective genetic local search (MOGLS) algorithms to the best performers in the previous experiments using the same test instances. The results of our experiment indicate that our MOGLS algorithm generates better approximations to the nondominated set in the same number of functions evaluations than the other algorithms.

[2]: MOEA D is a decomposition-based multiobjective evolutionary algorithm that has attracted much attention in recent years. Its performance depends on the setting of weight vectors which are used for defining subproblems. In the case of irregular Pareto fronts (e.g, disconnected or degenerated), fixed setting of weight vectors in MOEA D may not work well. In this paper, we propose an improved MOEA D with both random and fixed weight vectors. Moreover, an external archive based on a modified e-dominance strategy is used for storing nondominated solutions found by the proposed algorithm and assisting the generation of random weight vectors. Some experiments have been conducted to verify the efficiency and effectiveness of the improved MOEA D on benchmark multiobjective test problems with irregular Pareto fronts. The experimental results show that the overall performance of the proposed algorithm is better than baseline MOEA D and NSGA-II.

[4]: The conventional weighted aggregation method is extended to realize multi-objective optimization. The basic idea is that systematically changing the weights during evolution will lead the population to the Pareto front. Two possible methods are investigated. One method is to assign a uniformly distributed random weight to each individual in the population in each generation. The other method is to change the weight periodically with the process of the evolution. We found in both cases that the population is able to approach the Pareto front, although it will not keep all the found Pareto solutions in the population. Therefore, an archive of non-dominated solutions is maintained. Case studies are carried out on some of the test functions used in [1] and [2]. Simulation results show that the proposed approaches are simple and effective.

[5]: We propose a hybrid algorithm for finding a set of nondominated solutions of a multi objective optimization problem. In the proposed algorithm, a local search procedure is applied to each solution (i.e., each individual) generated by genetic operations. Our algorithm uses a weighted sum of multiple objectives as a fitness function. The fitness function is utilized when a pair of parent solutions are selected for generating a new solution by crossover and mutation operations. A local search procedure is applied to the new solution to maximize its fitness value. One characteristic feature of our algorithm is to randomly specify weight values whenever a pair of parent solutions are selected. That is, each selection (i.e., the selection of two parent solutions) is performed by a different weight vector. Another characteristic feature of our algorithm is not to examine all neighborhood solutions of a current solution in the local search procedure. Only a small number of neighborhood solutions are examined to prevent the local search procedure from spending almost all available computation time in our algorithm. High performance of our algorithm is demonstrated by applying it to multi objective flowshop scheduling problems.
An intuitive solution to this problem is to adaptively update the weight vectors during the optimisation process. Several interesting attempts have been made along this line. In early studies [5] [4] [1] , researchers considered randomly-generated weight vectors (search directions) at each generation. This can make more computational cost allocated on the area around the nondominated solutions found so far [2] . Recently, [2] presented that this strategy could be helpful in dealing with MOPs having an irregular Pareto front. They introduced an external population, which is used to store promising solutions by the @math dominance relation [3] , to help generating the random weights.
