Abstract
This paper presents an improved multi-objective diversity control oriented genetic algorithm (MODCGA-II). The performance comparison between the MODCGA-II, a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) and an improved strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm (SPEA-II) is carried out where different two- and three-objective benchmark problems with specific multi-objective characteristics are used. The results indicate that the two-objective MODCGA-II solutions are better than the solutions generated by the NSGA-II and SPEA-II in terms of the closeness to the true Pareto optimal solutions and the uniformity of solution distribution along the Pareto front. In contrast, the NSGA-II in overall produces the best solutions in three-objective problems. As a result, the limitation of the proposed algorithm is identified.
