A Comprehensive Review on Multi-objective Optimization Techniques: Past, Present and Future
This study covers relevant aspects of multi-objective algorithms that which will help the new researchers to apply these algorithms in their research field.
Abstract
Realistic problems typically have many conflicting objectives. Therefore, it is instinctive to look at the engineering problems as multi-objective optimization problems. This paper briefly explains the multi-objective optimization algorithms and their variants with pros and cons. Representative algorithms in each category are discussed in depth. Applications of various multi-objective algorithms in various fields of engineering are discussed. Open challenges and future directions for multi-objective algorithms are suggested. This study covers relevant aspects of multi-objective algorithms that which will help the new researchers to apply these algorithms in their research field.
