• Abstract: A hybrid framework combining the branch and bound method with multiobjective evolutionary algorithms is proposed for nonconvex multiobjective optimization. The hybridization exploits the complementary character of the two optimization strategies. A multiobjective evolutionary algorithm is intended for inducing tight lower and upper bounds during the branch and bound procedure. Tight bounds such as the ones derived in this way can reduce the number of subproblems that have to be solved. The branch and bound method guarantees the global convergence of the framework and improves the search capability of the multiobjective evolutionary algorithm. An implementation of the hybrid framework considering NSGA-II and MOEA/D-DE as multiobjective evolutionary algorithms is presented. Numerical experiments verify the hybrid algorithms benefit from synergy of the branch and bound method and multiobjective evolutionary algorithms.

  This paper focuses on both Single-Objective Multi-Modal Optimization (SOMMOP) and Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) In SOMMOP, we integrate chaotic evolution with niching techniques, as well as Persistence-Based Clustering combined with Gaussian mutation. For MOO, we extend these methods into a comprehensive framework that incorporates Uncertainty-Based Selection, Adaptive Tuning, and introduces a radius ( R ) concept in deterministic crowding.
