Abstract

A new evohitionaiy multi-objective crowding algorithm (EMOCA) is evaluated using nine benchmark multi-objective optimization problems, and shown to produce non-dominated solutions with significant diversity, outperforming state- of-the-art multi-objective evolutionary algorithms viz.. Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm - II (NSGA-II). Strength Pareto Evolutionary algorithm II (SPEA-II) and Pareto Archived Evolution Strategy (PAES) on most of the test problems. The key new approach in EMOCA is to use a diversity-emphasizing probabilistic approach in determining whether an offspring individual is considered in the replacement selection phase, along with the use of a non-domination ranking scheme. This approach appears to provide a useful compromise between the two concerns of dominance and diversity in the evolving population.
