Handling Constrained Multi-Objective Optimization Problems Based On Relationship Between Pareto Fronts, Yubo Wang, Chengyu Hu, Wenyin Gong

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To address the challenges of balancing the constraint satisfaction and objective function optimization, and dealing with the complex feasible regions in constrained multi-objective optimization problems(CMOPs), a classification-based search approach is proposed based on different Pareto front relationships. A dual-population dual-phase framework is proposed in which an auxiliary population Pa and a main population Pm are evolved and the evolution process is divided into a learning phase and a search phase. During the learning phase, Pa explores unconstrained Pareto front (UPF) and Pm explores constrained Pareto front(CPF), through which the relationship between UPF and CPF is determined.
