Abstract
Dynamic multi-objective TSP (DMOTSP), a new research filed of evolutionary computation, is an NP-hard problem which comes from the applications of mobile computing, mobile communications. Currently, only a small number of literatures related to the research of static multi-objective TSP and dynamic single objective TSP. In this paper, an evaluation criterion of the algorithms for DMOTSP called Paretos-Similarity is first proposed, with which can evaluate the Pareto set and algorithms’ performance for DMOTSP. A dynamic multi-objective evolutionary algorithm for DMOTSP, DMOTSP-EA, is also proposed, which embraces an effective operator, Inver-Over, for static TSP and dynamic elastic operators for dynamic TSP. It can track the Pareto front of medium-scale dynamic multi-objective TSP in which the number of cities is between 100 and 200. In experiment, taking CHN144+5 with two objectives for example, the algorithm is tested effective and the evaluation criterion, Paretos-Similarity, is available.
