Popis: The success of Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms based on Decomposition (MOEA/D) has generated great interest in the use of a reference set of weight vectors to promote diversity within non-dominated solutions. However, the quality of the solution set obtained heavily depends on the relation between the weight distribution and the Pareto front's shape. This study focuses on a performance comparison of classical techniques for weight vector generation, either based on mixture design or low discrepancy sequences, and a novel approach for updating the weight vectors during the evolutionary process. This approach uses information from the non-dominated individuals to generate weights vectors through a repulsion criterion. Preliminary experiments indicate that this dynamic strategy provides significant benefits when compared to the static Simplex Lattice Design (SLD).
