Excessive dying in nature causes reduction in diversity and leads to extinction of organism. In this work to avoid excessive dying we propose explicit dying strategies as part of Genetic Algorithm. A solution is removed from next generation population in a deterministic way by using dying strategy. Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) takes decision of removal of solution, based on one of these three strategies. Experiments were performed to show impact of dying of solutions and dying strategies on the performance of MOGA. Further to improve performance of MOGA an ensemble of dying strategy is proposed. Ensemble of Dying Strategy based MOGA (EDS-MOGA) has been implemented and its results show that ensemble of dying strategy has given better performance than MOGA with single dying strategy.
