Abstract EN
In order to improve the convergence and distribution of a many-objective evolutionary algorithm, this paper proposes an improved NSGA-III algorithm based on weight vector adjustment (called NSGA-III-WA).
First, an adaptive weight vector adjustment strategy is proposed to decompose the objective space into several subspaces.
According to different subspace densities, the weight vector is sparse or densely adjusted to ensure the uniformity of the weight vector distribution on the Pareto front surface.
Secondly, the evolutionary model that combines the new differential evolution strategy and genetic evolution strategy is proposed to generate new individuals and enhance the exploration ability of the weight vector in each subspace.
The proposed algorithm is tested on the optimization problem of 3–15 objectives on the DTLZ standard test set and WFG test instances, and it is compared with the five algorithms with better effect.
In this paper, the Whitney–Wilcoxon rank-sum test is used to test the significance of the algorithm.
The experimental results show that NSGA-III-WA has a good effect in terms of convergence and distribution.
