Abstract

Evolutionary algorithms are well-suited for multi-objective optimization problems involving several. often conflicting objective. Pareto-based evolutionary algorithms, in particular, have shown better performance than other multi-objective evolutionary algorithms in comparison. Recently, pareto-based evolutionary algorithms uses a density information in fitness assignment scheme for generating uniform distributed global pareto optimal front. However, the usage of density information is not Important elements in a whole evolution path but plays an auxiliary role in order to make uniform distribution. In this paper, we propose an evolutionary algorithms for multi-objective optimization which assigns the fitness using pareto dominance rank and density weighting, and thus pareto dominance rank and density have similar influence on the whole evolution path. Furthermore, the experimental results, which applied our method to the six multi-objective optimization problems, show that the proposed algorithms show more promising results.

진화 알고리즘은 여러 개의 상충하는 목적을 갖는 다목적 최적화 문제를 해결하기에 적합한 방법이다. 특히, 파레토 지배관계에 기초하여 개체의 적합도를 평가하는 파레토 기반 진화알고리즘들은 그 성능에 있어서 우수한 평가를 받고 있다. 최근의 파레토 기반 진화알고리즘들은 전체 파레토 프론트에 균일하게 분포하는 해집합의 생성을 위해 개체들의 밀도를 개체의 적합도를 평가하기 위한 하나의 요소로 사용하고 있다. 그러나 밀도의 역할은 전체 진화과정에서 중요한 요소가 되기보다는 파레토 프론트에 어느 정도 수렴된 후, 개체의 균일 분포를 만들기 위해 사용된다. 본 논문에서 우리는 파레토 지배 순위와 밀도에 대한 임의가중치를 적용한 다목적 최적화 진화알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 진화 개체의 적합도를 평가하기 위해 파레토 순위와 밀도에 대한 임의의 가중치를 적용하므로 전체 진화과정에서 파레토 순위와 밀도가 비슷한 영향을 미치도록 하였다. 또한, 제안한 방법을 6개의 다목적 최적화 문제에 적용한 결과 비교적 우수한 결과를 보였다.
