Abstract

En 中文
Dynamic Constrained Multiobjective Optimization Problems (DCMOPs) are very difficult to solve because both of the objectives and constraints may change over time. The existing approaches for solving DCMOPs mainly develop dynamic response techniques and constraint handling techniques. But they do not focus on the search capability of the static optimizer in each environment, which ignores the intrinsic requirement of quickly locating Pareto-optimal Front (PF) in each environment when solving DCMOPs. To this end, this paper proposes a dual -population evolutionary algorithm for solving DCMOPs, called as DpEA, which maintains a population without considering constraints (called UP) for exploration and a population with considering constraints (called CP) for exploitation in each environment. In each iteration of a new environment, UP firstly adopts a stratified mutation strategy (SMS) and a dominated solution repairment strategy (DSR) to enhance the exploration ability of finding promising regions where the PF may reside. SMS uses solutions from different nondominated fronts to generate offspring, while DSR repairs the single -optimal variables of the dominated solutions by sampling from the distribution of those variables of nondominated solutions. Secondly, this paper uses an adaptive offspring ratio adjustment strategy to control the offspring number generated by UP and CP according to the normalized Hausdorff distance between nondominated solution sets from the two latest generations of UP. This strategy is helpful to balance the intensity between exploration and exploitation and thereby ensures efficient search. Experimental results on CEC 2023 DCF test suite show that DpEA has a superior performance over six state -of -the -art algorithms.
