Abstract

This chapter introduces a novel step size update strategy for the multi-objective Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (MO-CMA-ES). The strategy considers the extent of improvement or degradation in non-dominated fronts, making it more adaptive and effective. The text begins with an overview of MO-CMA-ES and its applications, followed by a detailed explanation of the new step size update strategy. The strategy is evaluated through extensive experiments on the bbob-biobj test suite, demonstrating its superiority in accelerating convergence speed. The chapter also discusses the impact of problem dimensionality and search budget on the performance of the proposed strategy. The results show that the new strategy outperforms existing methods, particularly in high-dimensional problems. The conclusion highlights the potential of the strategy to improve the search ability of MO-CMA-ES and suggests future research directions.
