When facing a real world, optimization problems mainly become multiobjective i.e. they have several criteria of excellence. A multi-criteria problem submitted for multi-criteria evaluation is a complex problem, as usually there is no optimal solution, and no alternative is the best one according to all criteria. However, if a metaheuristic algorithm is combined with a Multi-Criteria Decision-Ma...

A common approach in multiobjective optimization is to perform the decision making process after the search process: first, a search heuristic approximates the set of Pareto-optimal solutions, and then the decision maker chooses an appropriate trade-off solution from the resulting approximation set. Both processes are strongly affected by the number of optimization criteria. The more objectives...

ABSTRACT This paper proposes a new Multi-Objective Equilibrium Optimizer (MOEO) to handle complex optimization problems, including real-world engineering design problems. The (EO) is recently reported physics-based metaheuristic algorithm, and it has been inspired by the models used predict equilibrium state dynamic state. A similar procedure utilized in MOEO combining different target search s...

Abstract This paper introduces a multi-objective variant of the marine predators algorithm (MPA) called improved (MOIMPA), which incorporates concepts from Quantum theory. By leveraging theory, MOIMPA aims to enhance MPA’s ability balance between exploration and exploitation find optimal solutions. The utilizes concept inspired by Schrödinger wave function determine position particles in search...

This article deals with constrained multi-objective optimization problems. The main purpose of the article is to investigate relationships between constrained and unconstrained multi-objective optimization problems. Under suitable assumptions (e.g., generalized convexity assumptions) we derive a characterization of the set of (strictly, weakly) efficient solutions of a constrained multi-objecti...
