Multi-objective optimization with Evolutionary Algorithms has been gaining popularity recently because its applicability in practical problems. Many practical problems contain also constraints, which must be taken care of during optimization process. This chapter is about Generalized Differential Evolution, which is a general-purpose optimizer. It is based on a relatively recent Evolutionary Algorithm, Differential Evolution, which has been gaining popularity because of its simplicity and good observed performance. Generalized Differential Evolution extends Differential Evolution for problems with several objectives and constraints. The chapter concentrates on describing different development phases and performance of Generalized Differential Evolution but it also contains a brief review of other multi-objective DE approaches. Ability to solve multi-objective problems is mainly discussed, but constraint handling and the effect of control parameters are also covered. It is found that GDE versions, in particular the latest version, are effective and efficient for solving constrained multi-objective problems.

Antenna and microwave design problems are, in general, multi-objective. Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) are suitable optimization techniques for solving such problems. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE) have received increased interest from the electromagnetics community. The fact that both algorithms can efficiently handle arbitrary optimization problems has made them popular for solving antenna and microwave design problems. This chapter presents three different state-of-the-art MOEAs based on PSO and DE, namely: the Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO), the Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization with fitness sharing (MOPSO-fs), and the Generalized Differential Evolution (GDE3). Their applications to different design cases from antenna and microwave problems are reported. These include microwave absorber, microwave filters and Yagi-uda antenna design. The algorithms are compared and evaluated against other evolutionary multi-objective algorithms like Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II). The results show the advantages of using each algorithm.
