Interactive multiobjective tabu/scatter Search based on reference point

Búsqueda tabú/dispersa multiobjetivo Interactivas basadas en punto de Referencia

Ricardo P. Beausoleil *+



Abstract

This paper presentsmultiobjective tabu/scatter search architecture with preference information based on reference points for problems of continuous nature. Features of this new version are: its interactive behavior, its deterministic approximation to Pareto-optimality solutions near the reference point, and the possibility to change progressively the reference point to explore different preference regions. The approach does not impose any restrictionswith respect to the location of the reference points in the objective space. On 2-objective to 10-objective optimization test problems the modified approach shows its efficacy and efficiency to find an adequate non-dominated set of solutions in the preferred region.

Keywords: multiple objectives; metaheuristics; reference point; continuous optimization.

Resumen

Este artículo presenta una arquitectura Tabú/Búsqueda Dispersa multiobjetivo, con información de preferencia basada en punto de referencia para problemas de naturaleza continua. Los rasgos de esta nueva versión son los siguientes: funcionamiento interactivo, aproximación determinística a las soluciones Pareto cercanas al punto de referencia y la posibilidad de cambiar el punto de referencia para explorar deferentes regiones de preferencia. El enfoque no impone restricciones con relación a los puntos de referencia en el espacio de los objetivos, y muestra su habilidad en la solución de problemas desde 2 hasta más de 10 objetivos, hallando conjuntos de soluciones eficientes cercanas al punto de preferencia.

Palabras clave: múltiples objetivos; metaheurísticas; punto de referencia; optimización continua.

Mathematics Subject Classification: 90C27.
