This study reviews multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) for complex optimization. It defines MOEAs, classifies techniques, and evaluates current research for future design recommendations.

Area of Science:

  • Computational intelligence
  • Operations research
  • Computer science

Background:

  • Multiobjective optimization problems (MOPs) present significant challenges due to conflicting objectives.
  • Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been adapted since the 1980s to address these complex problems.
  • Multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have seen widespread application in science and engineering.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To rigorously define MOPs and related concepts.
  • To present a classification scheme for contemporary MOEAs.
  • To critically evaluate current MOEA techniques and theoretical developments.

Main Methods:

  • Review and analysis of existing multiobjective evolutionary algorithm literature.
  • Classification of MOEA techniques based on theoretical and applied aspects.

  • Evaluation of specific MOEA components: fitness functions, Pareto ranking, niching, fitness sharing, mating restriction, and secondary populations.
  • Main Results:

    • Identification of key analytical insights from current MOEA research and applications.
    • Assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of various contemporary MOEA approaches.
    • Synthesis of findings to inform the design of future MOEAs.

    Conclusions:

    • MOEA development is a rapidly evolving field requiring continuous evaluation.
    • Specific design choices significantly impact MOEA performance in solving MOPs.
    • Recommendations are provided for future research directions and MOEA design principles.
