Much attention has been paid to evolutionary multi-objectiveoptimization approaches to efficiently solve real-world engineering problems with multiple conflicting objectives. However, the loss of selection pressure and the non-uniformity in the distribution of the Pareto optimal solutions in the objective space can impede both dominance-based and decomposition-based multi-objective optimizers when solving many-objectiveproblems. In this work, we circumvent this issue by exploiting two performance indicators, and use these in an optimizer's environmental selection via non-dominated sorting. This effectively converts the original many-objective problem into a bi-objective one. Our convergence performance criterion tries to balance the performance of individuals in different parts of the objective space. The angle between solutions on objective space is adopted to measure the diversity of each individual. Using these solutions can be separated into different layers easily, which is often not possible for the original many-objectiveoptimization representation. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on the DTLZ benchmark problems with up to 30 objectives, and MaF test suite with 10,15, 20 and 30 objectives. The experimental results show that our proposed method is competitive compared to six recently proposed algorithms, especially for solving problems with a large number of objectives.

Convergence is always a major concern for many-objective optimization problems. Over the past few decades, various methods have been designed for measuring the convergence. However, according to our mathematical and empirical analyses, most of these methods are more focused on the convergence, and may neglect the exploration of boundary solutions, resulting in the incomplete Pareto fronts and the poor extent of spread achieved among the obtained non-dominated solutions. Regarding this issue, this paper proposes a many-objective Evolutionary Algorithm with Adaptive Reference Vector (MaOEA-ARV). In MaOEA-ARV, an adaptive reference vector strategy is designed to dynamically adjust the reference vectors according to the current distribution of candidate solutions for ensuring the spread and convergence simultaneously. Additionally, a hierarchical clustering strategy is employed to adaptively partition candidate solutions into multiple clusters for the diversity of candidate solutions. Experimental results on DTLZ, BT, ZDT and WFG test suites with up to 12 objectives demonstrate the effectiveness of MaOEA-ARV. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithms encounter significant challenges when tackling many-objective optimization problems. This is mainly because of the imbalance between convergence and diversity that occurs when increasing the selection pressure. In this paper, a novel adaptive MOPSO (ANMPSO) algorithm based on R2 contribution and adaptive method is developed to improve the performance of MOPSO. First, a new global best solutions selection mechanism with R2 contribution is introduced to select leaders with better diversity and convergence. Second, to obtain a uniform distribution of particles, an adaptive method is used to guide the flight of particles. Third, a re-initialization strategy is proposed to prevent particles from trapping into local optima. Empirical studies on a large number (64 in total) of problem instances have demonstrated that ANMPSO performs well in terms of inverted generational distance and hyper-volume metrics. Experimental studies on the practical application have also revealed that ANMPSO could effectively solve problems in the real world.

In recent years, many-objective optimization problems have been widely used. however, with the increase of the number of objectives, the difficulty of solving increases exponentially, and the imbalance between convergence and diversity becomes more serious. In view of the above problems, this paper combines the idea of three-way decision, redesigns the environment selection strategy, and proposes a many-objectiveoptimization algorithm based on three-way decision. Firstly, the distance from the individual to the ideal point is used as an index to measure individual convergence, the minimum distance from the individual to other solutions is used as an indicator to measure individual diversity, and the individuals with good convergence and good diversity are selected separately by combining the thresholds of the three-way decision;and secondly, A dynamic threshold acquisition method is designed to further improve the performance of the algorithm;Finally, it is proved that the algorithm can effectively balance convergence and diversity through tests of different data sets, so as to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm & COPY;2023 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Faculty of Computers and Information, Cairo University.

The key aspect in coal production is realizing safe and efficient mining to maximize the utilization of the resources. A requirement for sustainable economic development is realizing green coal production, which is influenced by factors of coal economic, energy, ecological, coal gangue economic and social benefits. To balance these factors, this paper proposes a many-objectiveoptimization model with five objectives for green coal production. Furthermore, a hybrid many-objective particle swarm optimization (HMaPSO) algorithm is designed to solve the established model. A new offspring of the alternative pool is generated by employing different evolutionary operators. The environmental selection mechanism is adopted to select and store the excellent solutions. Two sets of experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach: First, the HMaPSO algorithm is tested on the DTLZ functions, and its performance is compared with that of several widely used many-objective algorithms. Second, the HMaPSO algorithm is applied to solve the many-objective green coal production optimization model. The computational results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, and the simulation results prove that the designed approach can provide promising choices for decision makers in regional planning.

Cuckoo search (CS) is an excellent population-based algorithm and has shown promising performance in dealing with single- and multi-objectiveoptimizationproblems. However, for many-objective optimization problems (MaOPs), CS cannot be directly employed. So far, few paper have been reported to use CS to solve MaOPs. In this paper, we try to propose a hybrid many-objective cuckoo search (HMaOCS) for MaOPs. In HMaOCS, the standard CS is firstly modified to effectively deal with MaOPs. Then, non-dominated sorting and the strategy of reference points are employed to ensure the convergence and diversity. In order to verify the performance of HMaOCS, DTLZ and WFG benchmark sets are utilized in the experiments. Experimental results show that HMaOCS can achieve promising performance compared with five other well-known many-objectiveoptimization algorithms.

many-objective optimization problems abbreviated as MaOPs with more than three objectives have attracted increasing interests due to their widely existing in a variety of real world applications. This paper presents a novel many-objective population extremal optimization called MaOPEO-HM algorithm for MaOPs by introducing a reference set based many-objectiveoptimization mechanism into a recently developed population extremal optimization framework and designing an adaptive hybrid mutation operation for updating the population. Despite of the successful applications of extremal optimization in different kinds of numerical and engineering optimizationproblems, it has never been explored to the many-objectiveoptimization domain so far. Because most of the existing many-objective evolutionary algorithms are usually guided by a single mutation operation, which has insufficient ability to exploit the search space of MaOPs and will get stuck at any local efficient front, it is the first attempt to design a novel hybrid mutation scheme in MaOPEO-HM algorithm by combining the advantages of polynomial mutation operator and multi-non-uniform mutation operator effectively. The experiment results for DTLZ test problems with 3, 5, 8, 10, and 15 objectives and WFG test problems with 3, 5, and 8 objectives have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed MaOPEO-HM to five state-of-the-art decomposition-based many-objective evolutionary algorithms including NSGA-III, RVEA, EFR-RR, theta-DEA, and MOEA/DD and two non-decomposition-based algorithms in-cluding GrEA and Two_Arch2. Furthermore, the great ability of the designed adaptive hybrid mutation operation incorporated into many-objective population extremal optimization (MaOPEO) has also been illustrated by comparing MaOPEO-HM and two MaOPEO algorithms only based on traditional multi-non-uniform mutation or polynomial mutation for DTLZ problems.

With the increasing functionality of multi-agent systems, fault tolerance has become an essential requirement, especially for workflow with interdependencies among tasks. In this paper, we propose a scheme that combines a novel intrinsic-plasticity-inspired rescheduling execution model (IPIREM) with an improved NSGA-III with knee points. The IPIREM provides a relatively stable evaluation without any estimation of the failure distribution when transient failures happen. Based on the evaluation result of IPIREM, the multi-objectiveoptimization problem is solved by use of an improved NSGA-III, which accelerates convergence and promotes diversity. Finally, experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective in enhancing efficiency of the workflow. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
