Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimizers: A Survey of the State-of-the-Art

Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimizers: A Survey of the State-of-the-Art

2006 | Margarita Reyes-Sierra and Carlos A. Coello Coello
The paper "Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimizers: A Survey of the State-of-the-Art" by Margarita Reyes-Sierra and Carlos A. Coello Coello provides a comprehensive review of Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) algorithms. The authors begin by introducing the basic concepts of multi-objective optimization, including definitions of Pareto optimality and the Pareto front. They then discuss the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, highlighting its simplicity and effectiveness in solving single-objective optimization problems. The paper delves into the extension of PSO for multi-objective optimization, addressing key challenges such as leader selection, solution retention, and diversity promotion. It introduces various approaches to these challenges, including aggregating functions, lexicographic ordering, sub-population methods, and Pareto-based methods. The authors classify these approaches and provide detailed descriptions of each, including their key features and performance characteristics. The paper also explores the use of mutation operators to enhance exploration and avoid premature convergence. It discusses the impact of different neighborhood topologies on convergence and diversity, and presents a taxonomy of MOPSO approaches. Finally, the authors identify promising areas for future research, emphasizing the need for more efficient leader selection, improved solution retention, and enhanced diversity promotion techniques.The paper "Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimizers: A Survey of the State-of-the-Art" by Margarita Reyes-Sierra and Carlos A.
