Modified archive update mechanism of multi-objective particle swarm optimization in fuzzy classification and clustering

Evolutionary algorithms have been extensively used to resolve problems associated with multiple and often conflicting objectives. The objective of a multi-objective optimization algorithm is to define the collection of best trade-offs between objectives. Among multi-objective evolutionary algorithms...

Modified archive update mechanism of multi-objective particle swarm optimization in fuzzy classification and clustering
description Evolutionary algorithms have been extensively used to resolve problems associated with multiple and often conflicting objectives. The objective of a multi-objective optimization algorithm is to define the collection of best trade-offs between objectives. Among multi-objective evolutionary algorithms proposed in the literature, particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based multi-objective (MOPSO) algorithm has been cited to be the most representative. One characteristic of MOPSO with Pareto optimality scheme is associated with selection mechanism for archive update. However, the PSO algorithm produces a group of non-dominated solutions which makes the choice of a “suitable” Pareto optimal or non-dominated solution more difficult. According to the literature, crowding distance as one of the most efficient algorithms was developed based on density measures to treat the problem of selection mechanism for archive update. Issues arising from these methods are not conducive to balancing diversity and convergence performances. The present study proposed a modified selection mechanism for archive updates in MOPSO (MOPSO-CD). The approach of the proposed mechanism was based on dominance concept and crowding distances to obviate falling in local optima instead of global optima as well as to have a balance between diversity and convergence by using the Pareto dominance concept after calculating the value of the crowding degree for each solution.
