Abstract
The besiege and conquer algorithm has shown excellent performance in single-objective optimization problems. However, there is no literature on the research of the BCA algorithm on multi-objective optimization problems. Therefore, this paper proposes a new multi-objective besiege and conquer algorithm to solve multi-objective optimization problems. The grid mechanism, archiving mechanism, and leader selection mechanism are integrated into the BCA to estimate the Pareto optimal solution and approach the Pareto optimal frontier. The proposed algorithm is tested with MOPSO, MOEA/D, and NSGAIII on the benchmark function IMOP and ZDT. The experiment results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain competitive results in terms of the accuracy of the Pareto optimal solution.
