....on EMO algorithms (e.g. 6] 8] emphasis was mainly placed on the diversity of solutions in order to find uniformly distributed Pareto optimal solutions. Thus several concepts such as niching, fitness sharing, and mating restriction were introduced into EMO algorithms. In recent studies (e.g. [9] [13] emphasis was placed on the convergence speed to the Pareto front as well as the diversity of solutions. In those studies, some form of elitism was used as an important ingredient of EMO algorithms. It was shown that the use of elitism improved the convergence speed to the Pareto front ....

....selected from a pre specified number of the best solutions with respect to the scalar fitness function with the current weights. This selection scheme can be viewed as a kind of mating restriction in EMO algorithms. Knowles Corne [23] combined their Pareto archived evolution strategy (PAES [9], 11] with a crossover operation for designing a memetic PAES (M PAES) In their M PAES, the Pareto dominance relation and the grid type partition of the objective space were used for determining the acceptance (or rejection) of new solutions generated in genetic search and local search. The ....

....SPEA and other evolutionary based algorithms were made by solving 9 multiobjective 0 1 knapsack problems [12] and 6 test functions [13] constructed by following Deb s guidelines [14] In these comparisons, SPEA clearly outperforms the other multiobjective EAs. Most recently, Knowles and Corne [15, 16] proposed a simple Evolution Strategies, 1 1) ES, known as PAES (Pareto Archived Evolution Strategy) that keeps a record of limited nondominated individuals. The nondominated individuals are accepted for recording based on the degree of crowdiness in their grid (defined regions on the Pareto ....

....describing the PO front. 3 Algorithms Used Earlier MOEAs (MOGA [10] NSGA [17] and NPGA [12] were critisized for their dependence on sharing parameter [8] and lack of elitism [15, 18] Different algorithms that over come these shortcomings have been proposed. Few such algorithms are PAES [13], SPEA [21] and NSGA II [8] In these algorithms, elitism maintains the knowledge acquired during the algorithm execution by conserving the individuals with best fitness in the population or in an auxiliary population. For the maintenance of spread of solutions grid based techniques (PAES) ....

PAES PAES (Pareto Archived Evolution Strategy) KC99] can be viewed as (1 1) ES but in addition to the parent and the offspring, an archive of best solutions found so far is also maintained at each generation.

Another MOEA which has demonstrated significant results is the Evolutionary Strategy (ES) based Pareto Archived Evolutionary Strategy (PAES) of Knowles and Corne [16, 17]. Both these MOEAs incorporate elitism and recent work by Lauraarms et al. 18] provides a unified model for MOEAs with elitism (called UMMEA) The elitism within UMMEA is achieved by using an archive set of non dominated solutions in addition to the usual GA population (or as a source of parents ....

....the true Pareto front. The goal, therefore, of multi objective algorithms (MOAs) is to locate the Pareto front of these non dominated solutions. Multi Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) are a popular approach to confronting these types of problem by using evolutionary search techniques [1, 4, 7, 5, 9, 8, 10, 12, 13, 17, 16, 19, 30, 20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 29, 31, 28]. The use of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) as a tool of preference is due to such problems being typically complex, with both a large number of parameters to be adjusted, and several objectives to be optimised. EAs, which can maintain a population of solutions, are in addition able to explore ....
