Abstract

The fast convergence of particle swarm algorithms can become a downside in multi-objective optimization problems when there are many local optimal fronts. In such a situation a multi-objective particle swarm algorithm may get stuck to a local Pareto optimal front. In this paper we propose a new approach in selecting leaders for the particles to follow, which in-turn will guide the algorithm towards the Pareto optimal front. The proposed algorithm uses a Differential Evolution operator to create the leaders. These leaders can successfully guide the other particles towards the Pareto optimal front for various types of test problems. This simple yet robust algorithm is effective compared with existing multi-objective particle swarm algorithms.
