A Prediction and Weak Coevolution-Based Dynamic Constrained Multi-Objective Optimization
IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation(2024)
Abstract
Dynamic multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (DMOEAs) have gained great popularity in dealing with dynamic multi-objective optimization problems (DMOPs). However, existing studies have difficulties in tackling DMOPs subject to (dynamic) constraints. In this paper, we propose a prediction and weak coevolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithm (PWDCMO) to handle dynamic constrained multi-objective optimization problems (DCMOPs), where a prediction strategy is employed to forecast potential optimal regions under the new environment, with a weak coevolutionary constrained multi-objective optimization (CCMO) as the optimizer aiming at balancing exploration and convergence. The proposed method is compared with four popular dynamic constrained multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (DCMOEAs) on six test instances from two various test suites with their convergence and the overall performance being discussed. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed prediction strategy is also investigated to observe its impact on the final results. Additionally, the PWDCMO is employed in the optimization of an integrated coal mine energy system (ICMES) to validate the proficiency in addressing real world problems. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of PWDCMO.
