DE/RM-MEDA: A New Hybrid Multi-Objective Generator
Under the condition of Karush-Kuhn-Tucker, the Pareto Set (PS) in the decision area of an m-objective optimization problem is a piecewise continuous (m-1)-D manifold. For illustrate the degree of convergence of the population, we employed the ratio of the sum of the first (m-1) largest eigenvalue of the population's covariance matrix of the sum of all eigenvalue. Based on this property, this paper proposes a new algorithm, called DE/RM-MEDA, which mix differential evolutionary (DE) and the estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) to generate and adaptively adjusts the number of new solutions by the ratio. The proposed algorithm is experimented on nine tec09 problems. The comparison results between DE/RM-MEDA and the others algorithms, called NSGA-II-DE and RM-MEDA, show that the proposed algorithm perform better in terms of convergence and diversity metric.
