Abstract

"The research presented in this dissertation is in the field of Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms. Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are a class of algorithms which model Darwin's theory of evolution to search for solutions to difficult problems. Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) are a broader case of the standard EA. The primary distinction between an EA and a MOEA is that and EA searches for a single solution based on one objective, while a MOEA searches for a set of solutions based on a number of different objectives. The heart of this research is a new algorithm call SNDL-MOEA, which stands for "Stored Non-Domination Level Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm" – Abstract, leaf iii.
