Multi-objective particle swarm optimization based on cooperative hybrid strategy

摘要

A multi-objective particle swarm optimization based on cooperative hybrid strategy (CHSPSO) is presented in this paper to solve complex multi-objective problems. Most algorithms usually contain only one strategy, which makes them unable to trade off the convergence and diversity when solving the complex multi-objective problems. The proposed cooperative hybrid strategy can effectively guarantee the convergence and the diversity of the algorithm. The multi-population strategy and the dynamic clustering strategy are employed to improve the convergence and the diversity. At the same time, the life strategy and lottery probability selection strategy are used to further ensure the diversity of the population. A series of test functions are used to verify the effectiveness of CHSPSO. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with other evolutionary algorithms. The results show that CHSPSO can obtain a better convergence and diversity for the complex multi-objective problems.
