Constrained Test Problems for Multi-objective Evolutionary Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the past few years, researchers have developed a number of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs). Although most studies concentrated on solving unconstrained optimization problems, there exists a few studies where MOEAs have been extended to solve constrained optimization problems. As the constraint handling MOEAs gets popular, there is a need for developing test problems which can evaluate the algorithms well. In this paper, we review a number of test problems used in the literature and then suggest a set of tunable test problems for constraint handling. Finally, NSGA-II with an innovative constraint handling strategy is compared with a couple of existing algorithms in solving some of the test problems.

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient mathematical model for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem to optimize makespan and consumption of energy, simultaneously. In the proposed model, resources are speed-scaling machines. The problem is NP-hard in the strong sense. Therefore, a multi-objective fruit fly optimization algorithm (MOFOA) is developed. The MOFOA uses the VIKO...
