<p>Multifactorial Optimization (MFO) and Evolutionary Transfer Optimization (ETO) are new optimization challenging paradigms for which the multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization system (MOPSO) may be interesting despite limitations. MOPSO has been widely used in static/dynamic multi-objective optimization problems, while its potentials for multi-task optimization are not completely unveiled. This paper proposes a new Distributed Multifactorial Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (DMFPSO) for multi-task optimization. This new system has a distributed architecture on a set of sub-swarms that are dynamically constructed based on the number of optimization tasks affected by each particle skill factor. DMFPSO is designed to deal with the issues of handling convergence and diversity concepts separately. DMFPSO uses Beta function to provide two optimized profiles with a dynamic switching behaviour. The first profile, Beta-1, is used for the exploration which aims to explore the search space toward potential solutions, while the second Beta-2 function is used for convergence enhancement. This new system is tested on 36 benchmarks provided by the CEC’2021 Evolutionary Transfer Multi-Objective Optimization Competition. Comparatives with the state-of-the-art methods are done using the Inverted General Distance (IGD) and Mean Inverted General Distance (MIGD) metrics. Based on the MSS metric, this proposal has the best results on most tested problems.</p>

Distributed architecture-based Particle Swarm Optimization is very useful for static optimization and not yet explored to solve complex dynamic multi-objective optimization problems. This study proposes a novel Dynamic Pareto bi-level Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (DPb-MOPSO) algorithm with two optimization levels. In the first level, all solutions are optimized in the same search space and the second level is based on a distributed architecture using the Pareto ranking operator for dynamic multi-swarm subdivision. The proposed approach adopts a dynamic handling strategy using a set of detectors to keep track of change in the objective function that is impacted by the problem’s time-varying parameters at each level. To ensure timely adaptation during the optimization process, a dynamic response strategy is considered for the reevaluation of all non-improved solutions, while the worst particles are replaced with a newly generated one. The convergence and<br>diversity performance of the DPb-MOPSO algorithm are proven through Friedman Analysis of Variance, and the Lyapunov theorem is used to prove stability analysis over the Inverted Generational Distance (IGD) and Hypervolume Difference (HVD) metrics. Compared to other evolutionary algorithms, the novel DPb-MOPSO is shown to be most robust for solving complex problems over a range of changes in both the Pareto Optimal Set and Pareto Optimal Front. <br>

Particle swarm optimization system based on the distributed architecture has shown its efficiency for static optimization and has not been studied to solve dynamic multiobjective problems (DMOPs). When solving DMOP, tracking the best solutions over time and ensuring good exploitation and exploration are the main challenging tasks. This study proposes a novel Dynamic Pareto bi-level Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (DPb-MOPSO) algorithm including two parallel optimization levels. At the first level, all solutions are managed in a single search space. When a dynamic change is successfully detected, the Pareto ranking operator is used to enable a multiswarm subdivisions and processing which drives the second level of enhanced exploitation. A dynamic handling strategy based on random detectors is used to track the changes of the objective function due to time-varying parameters. A response strategy consisting in re-evaluate all unimproved solutions and replacing them with newly generated ones is also implemented. Inverted generational distance, mean inverted generational distance, and hypervolume difference metrics are used to assess the DPb-MOPSO performances. All quantitative results are analyzed using Friedman's analysis while the Lyapunov theorem is used for stability analysis. Compared with several multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, the DPb-MOPSO is robust in solving 21 complex problems over a range of changes in both the Pareto optimal set and Pareto optimal front. For 13 UDF and ZJZ functions, DPb-MOPSO can solve 8/13 and 7/13 on IGD and HVD with moderate changes. For the 8 FDA and dMOP benchmarks, DPb-MOPSO was able to resolve 4/8 with severe change on MIGD, and 5/8 for moderate and slight changes. However, for the 3 kind of environmental changes, DPb-MOPSO assumes 4/8 of the solving function on IGD and HVD. <br>

Particle swarm optimization system based on the distributed architecture over multiple sub-swarms has shown its efficiency for static optimization and has not been studied to solve dynamic multi-objective problems (DMOPs).

This study proposes a novel Dynamic Pareto bi-level Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (DPb-MOPSO) algorithm including two parallel optimization levels.

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is one of the most effective metaheuristics algorithms, with many successful real-world applications. The reason for the success of PSO is the movement behavior, which allows the swarm to effectively explore the search space. Unfortunately, the original PSO algorithm is only suitable for single objective optimization problems. In this paper, three movement strategies are discussed for multi-objective PSO (MOPSO) and popular test problems are used to confirm their effectiveness. In addition, these algorithms are also applied to solve the engineering design and portfolio optimization problems. Results show that the algorithms are effective with both direct and indirect encoding schemes.

This paper demonstrates a novel local search approach based on an adaptive (time variant) search space index improving the exploration ability as well as diversity in multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization. The novel strategy searches for the neighbourhood particles in a range which gradually increases with iterations. Particles get updated according to the rules of basic PSO and the non-dominated particles are subjected to Evolutionary update archiving. To improve the diversity, the archive is truncated based on crowding distance parameter. The leader is chosen among the candidates in the archive based on another local search. From the simulation results, it is clear that the implementation of the new scheme results in better convergence and diversity as compared to NSGA-II, CMPSO, and SMPSO reported in literature. Finally, the proposed algorithm is used to solve machine design based engineering problems from literature and compared with existing algorithms.
