Interactive evolutionary algorithms with decision-maker's preferences for solving interval multi-objective optimization problems

Abstract

Multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) with interval parameters are considerably popular and important in real-world applications. A novel evolutionary algorithm incorporating with a decision-maker (DM)'s preferences is presented to obtain their Pareto subsets which meet the DM's preferences in this study. The proposed algorithm is applied to four MOPs with interval parameters and compared with other two algorithms. The experimental results confirm the advantages of the proposed algorithm. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
