Abstract

Grid-based measure is an often-used strategy by some MOEAs tomaintain the diversity of the solution sets. The well knownΔ-MOEA, based on the Δ-dominance concept, isessentially based on grid-strategy too. Though often gaining anappropriate tradeoff between the aspects of the performance, theΔ-MOEA has its inherent vice and behaves unacceptablysometimes. That is, when the PFtrue's slope to onedimension changes a lot along the coordinate, the algorithm losesmany extreme or representative individuals, that has obviousinfluence on the diversity of the solution sets. In order to solvethis problem, a new Δ-dominance concept and thesuppositional optimum pointconcept are defined. Then weproposed a new grid-based elitist-reserving strategy and applied itin an EMO archive algorithm (Δ-MOEA). The experimentalresults illustrated Δ-MOEA's good performance, which is muchbetter especially for the diversity than NSGA-II andΔ-MOEA.
