Abstract

Multiobjective optimization problems widely exist in engineering application and science research. This paper presents an archive bacterial foraging optimizer to deal with multiobjective optimization problems. Under the concept of Pareto dominance, the proposed algorithm uses chemotaxis, conjugation, reproduction and elimination-and-dispersal mechanisms to approximate to the true Pareto fronts in multiobjective optimization problems. In the optimization process, the proposed algorithm incorporates an external archive to save the nondominated solutions previously found and utilizes the crowding distance to maintain the diversity of the obtained nondominated solutions. The proposed algorithm is compared with two state-of-the-art algorithms on four standard test problems. The experimental results indicate that our approach is a promising algorithm to deal with multiobjective optimization problems.
