A ε-indicator-based shuffled frog leaping algorithm for many-objective optimization problems

摘要

Many-objective optimization problems take challenges to multi-objective evolutionary algorithms.A number of nondominated solutions in population cause a difficult selection towards the Pareto front.To tackle this issue,a series of indicatorbased multi-objective evolutionary algorithms(MOEAs)have been proposed to guide the evolution progress and shown promising performance.This paper proposes an indicator-based manyobjective evolutionary algorithm calledε-indicator-based shuffled frog leaping algorithm(ε-MaOSFLA),which adopts the shuffled frog leaping algorithm as an evolutionary strategy and a simple and effectiveε-indicator as a fitness assignment scheme to press the population towards the Pareto front.Compared with four stateof-the-art MOEAs on several standard test problems with up to 50 objectives,the experimental results show thatε-MaOSFLA outperforms the competitors.
