Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimizers: A Survey of the State-of-the-Art

Abstract- The success of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm as a single-objective optimizer (mainly when dealing with continuous search spaces) has motivated researchers to extend the use of this bioinspired technique to other areas. One of them is multiobjective optimization. Despite the fact that the first proposal of a Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimizer (MOPSO) is over six years old, a considerable number of other algorithms have been proposed since then. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the various MOPSOs reported in the specialized literature. As part of this review, we include a classification of the approaches, and we identify the main features of each proposal. In the…
