摘要

This research introduces an advanced version of a genetic algorithm designed to tackle multi-objective optimization challenges. NSGA-II selects next-generation individuals using crowding distance and non-dominated sorting. This study makes several key contributions: firstly, it ensures the distribution of selected members on the PF by proposing a novel method to address the shortcomings of traditional crowding distance. Secondly, it introduces a hybrid mechanism combining chaotic maps and opposition-based learning (OBL) to diversify and generate the initial population. Thirdly, it presents a new approach to evaluating the cost function for selecting individuals for the next generation. Proposed algorithm benchmarked against MOPSO, MOICA, MOGWO, MOCSO, and NSGA-II. The outcomes illustrate that the suggested approach excels in obtaining a set of optimal solutions on the PF surface while maintaining appropriate dispersion to achieve the Pareto optimal front (POF) and solve engineering multi-objective problems.
