- Abstract:

In order for effective application of Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm based on Decomposition(MOEA/D) in engineering optimization,normalization of the range of objective values is needed. A self-a-daptive s constrained Differential Evolution ( gDE) algorithm is proposed to obtain the minimum and maximumvalues of each objective on the Pareto Front ( PF). After normalization,MOEA/D can then be effectively ap-plied. In addition ,the self-adaptive s constraint method is combined with MOEA/D for constraint handling. Abenchmark problem and a weld bean design problem are used to evaluate the performance of the algorithm a-gainst two other normalization methods. One main advantage of the proposed method is the selective concen-trated optimization on some regions on the Pareto front which allows handling of problems where regions of Pa-reto front are difficult to be optimized.
