many-objective optimization problems (MaOPs), are the most difficult problems to solve when it comes to multiobjectiveoptimization issues (MOPs). MaOPs provide formidable challenges to current multiobjective evolutionary methods such as selection operators, computational cost, visualization of the high-dimensional trade-off front. Removal of the reductant objectives from the original objective set, known as objective reduction, is one of the most significant approaches for MaOPs, which can tackle optimizationproblems with more than 15 objectives is made feasible by its ability to greatly overcome the challenges of existing multi-objective evolutionary computing techniques. In this study, an objective reduction evolutionary multiobjective algorithm using adaptive density-based clustering is presented for MaOPs. The parameters in the density-based clustering can be adaptively determined by depending on the data samples constructed. Based on the clustering result, the algorithm employs an adaptive strategy for objective aggregation that preserves the structure of the original Pareto front as much as feasible. Finally, the performance of the proposed multiobjective algorithms on benchmarks is thoroughly investigated. The numerical findings and comparisons demonstrate the efficacy and superiority of the suggested multiobjective algorithms and it may be treated as a potential tool for MaOPs.

The problem of convergence and diversity in the course of population evolution is difficult to be balanced for solving the many-objective optimization problem (MaOP). To track with the problem, a many-objectiveoptimization algorithm is designed. In the algorithm, a hybrid selection mechanism under the concurrent integration strategy is built to improve algorithm performance by employing the different selection operators. The concurrent integration strategy can select the suitable operator to balance the convergence and diversity of the solution in the course of the population evolutionary. To verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, the designed algorithm is compared with other five excellent many-objective algorithms on DTLZ and WFG test problem. What is more, the designed algorithm is applied to solve the coal green production optimizationproblem. The simulation results show that the performance of designed algorithm is superior to whether the DTLZ and WFG test problem or the application problem.

In recent years, the development of new types of nuclear reactors, such as transportable, marine, and space reactors, has presented new challenges for the optimization of reactor radiation-shielding design. Shielding structures typically need to be lightweight, miniaturized, and radiation-protected, which is a multi-parameter and multi-objectiveoptimizationproblem. The conventional multi-objective (two or three objectives) optimization method for radiation-shielding design exhibits limitations for a number of optimizationobjectives and variable parameters, as well as a deficiency in achieving a global optimal solution, thereby failing to meet the requirements of shielding optimization for newly developed reactors. In this study, genetic and artificial bee-colony algorithms are combined with a reference-point-selection strategy and applied to the many-objective (having four or more objectives) optimal design of reactor radiation shielding. To validate the reliability of the methods, an optimization simulation is conducted on three-dimensional shielding structures and another complicated shielding-optimizationproblem. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms outperform conventional shielding-design methods in terms of optimization performance, and they exhibit their reliability in practical engineering problems. The many-objectiveoptimization algorithms developed in this study are proven to efficiently and consistently search for Pareto-front shielding schemes. Therefore, the algorithms proposed in this study offer novel insights into improving the shielding-design performance and shielding quality of new reactor types.

This paper addresses the problem of generating an evenly distributed set of Pareto solutions. It appears in real-life applications related to multi-objectiveoptimization when it is important to represent the entire Pareto front with a minimal cost. There exist only a few algorithms which are able to tackle this problem in a general formulation. The Directed Search Domain (DSD) algorithm has proved to be efficient and quite universal. It has successfully been applied to different challengeable test cases. In this paper for the first time the DSD approach is systematically extended and applied to problems with higher dimensions. The modified algorithm does not have any formal limitation on the number of objective functions that is important for practical applications. The efficacy of the algorithm is demonstrated on a number of test cases.

The application of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) to multi-objectiveoptimizationproblems has been widespread. However, the EA research community has not paid much attention to large-scale multi-objectiveoptimizationproblems arising from real-world applications. Especially, Food-EnergyWater systems are intricately linked among food, energy and water that impact each other. They usually involve a huge number of decision variables and many conflicting objectives to be optimized. Solving their related optimizationproblems is essentially important to sustain the high-quality life of human beings. Their solution space size expands exponentially with the number of decision variables. Searching in such a vast space is challenging because of such large numbers of decision variables and objective functions. In recent years, a number of large-scale many-objectives optimization evolutionary algorithms have been proposed. In this paper, we solve a Food-Energy-Water optimizationproblem by using the state-of-art intelligent optimization methods and compare their performance. Our results conclude that the algorithm based on an inverse model outperforms the others. This work should be highly instrumental for practitioners to select the most suitable method for their particular large-scale engineering optimizationproblems.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are becoming a common technology used on smart cities and smart regions, thus requiring optimization of its routes with crucial importance. In this innovative work, six objective functions are optimized in order to provide sets of non-dominated solutions, composed of routes with different characteristics. Realistic constraints are considered such as obstacles and areas in which drones could not pass through. A didactic case of study considering points of a graph is used in order to illustrate a smart city composed of different regions. Obtained solutions are analyzed using a state-of-the-art visualization tool, which guides the comprehension of harmony and conflicts between objectives.

One of the research pathways in synthetic biology is protein encoding, which aims to improve and increase protein expression. The production of heterologous proteins is important in different fields, such as medicine, environmental biology, and agriculture. Protein encoding is a difficult task and can be defined as a many-objective optimization problem, where four objectives must be optimized concurrently: codon adaptation, guanine-cytosine content, difference between sequences, and avoidance of hairpin loops. These objectives are why we propose and describe a many-objective approach based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-III (NSGA-III) for protein encoding. The proposed algorithm was designed to work with novel mutation operators that are problem-aware and consider the different optimizationobjectives. The results of the pro-posed algorithm were compared to those of different tools that were reported by other authors to determine its efficiency. Comparisons were made using several quality metrics and with statistical analyses. The average improvements in hypervolume and set coverage were between 5.34% and 55.75%, and 53.01% and 100%, respectively. Based on the statisti-cal analyses, the proposed algorithm was found to produce statistically significant improvements compared to other algorithms, thus highlighting the relevance of the proposed approach for protein encoding.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Nowadays, energy and power companies compete to get the raw materials and equipment they need on time, as project times lengthen, costs spiral, stock-out continues to plague plans to a decarbonized energy future. The risks reflect the impact of uncertainty and volatility on the resilience of the supply chains. Therefore, there is a need for the enhancement of the production planning in Energy Supply Chains (ESCs), as it enables affordable energy supplies and supports the companies transition to a clean, secure and sustainable energy mix. This study aims to understand the interactive behavior among individuals and optimize their production planning under uncertainty scenarios. In particular, we propose a novel framework to couple an Agent-based Modelling (ABM) and a Co-evolutionary Algorithm (CEA), to realize its capacity to solve a many-objective optimization problem (MaOP) where the profits of multiple agents are concurrently maximized in their interactive transaction processes under normal conditions and uncertain disruption events. For demonstration, we illustrate the proposed approach by considering a five-layer oil and gas ESC model, where uncertainties from multiple sources and the structural dynamics challenge the balance between supply and demand. The results obtained by an integration of a Cooperative Co-evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimizer (CCPSO) algorithm into ABM show the pricing and orders of the target agents are optimized while the loss of ESC resilience is minimized under uncertainty scenarios, proving its capacity of improving the diversity and the convergence, compared to the classic evolutionary algorithms.

Interval many-objective optimization problems (IMaOPs) involve more than three conflicting objectives with interval parameters. Various real-world applications under uncertainty can be modeled as IMaOPs to solve, so effectively handling IMaOPs is crucial for solving practical problems. This paper proposes an adaptive interval many-objective evolutionary algorithm with information entropy dominance (IMEA-IED) to tackle IMaOPs. Firstly, an interval dominance method based on information entropy is proposed to adaptively compare intervals. This method constructs convergence entropy and uncertainty entropy related to interval features and innovatively introduces the idea of using global information to regulate the direction of local interval comparison. Corresponding interval confidence levels are designed for different directions. Additionally, a novel niche strategy is designed through interval population partitioning. This strategy introduces a crowding distance increment for improved subpopulation comparison and employs an updated reference vector method to adjust the search regions for empty subpopulations. The IMEA-IED is compared with seven interval optimization algorithms on 60 interval test problems and a practical application. Empirical results affirm the superior performance of our proposed algorithm in tackling IMaOPs.
