Abstract
The hardly dominated boundary (HDB) is commonly observed in multiobjective optimization problems (HDB-MOPs). However, there are only a few benchmark problems related to HDB-MOPs in the evolutionary computation community, which is insufficient to validate the performance of the multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs). In this article, we first introduce a new set of HDB-MOPs characterized by various shapes of Pareto fronts and scalable HDB sizes. We then systematically analyze the capabilities of several representative existing MOEAs in handling HDB-MOPs and reveal their strengths and weaknesses in solving this type of problem. Finally, based on this insightful analysis, we propose an indicator-based MOEA with an adaptive reference point (denoted as IMOEA-ARP) to effectively address HDB-MOPs. The source codes of the proposed benchmark problems and the IMOEA-ARP algorithm are available from https://github.com/CIAM-Group/EvolutionaryAlgorithm_Codes/tree/main/IMOEA-ARP.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation is published by the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society on behalf of 13 societies: Circuits and Systems; Computer; Control Systems; Engineering in Medicine and Biology; Industrial Electronics; Industry Applications; Lasers and Electro-Optics; Oceanic Engineering; Power Engineering; Robotics and Automation; Signal Processing; Social Implications of Technology; and Systems, Man, and Cybernetics. The journal publishes original papers in evolutionary computation and related areas such as nature-inspired algorithms, population-based methods, optimization, and hybrid systems. It welcomes both purely theoretical papers and application papers that provide general insights into these areas of computation.
