Abstract

Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are well-suited for solving several complex multi-objective problems with two or three objectives. However, as the number of conflicting objectives increases, the performance of most MOEAs is severely deteriorated. How to improve MOEAs’ performance when solving many-objective problems, i.e. problems with four or more conflicting objectives, is an important issue since a large number of this type of problems exists in science and engineering; thus, several researchers have proposed different alternatives. This paper presents a review of the use of MOEAs in many-objective problems describing the evolution of the field, the methods that were developed, as well as the main findings and open questions that need to be answered in order to continue shaping the field.
