| Popis: | Multi-tasking optimization (MTO) has attracted increasing attention in the domain of evolutionary computation. Different from single-tasking optimization, MTO can solve multiple optimization tasks simultaneously to improve the performance of solving each optimization task by inter-task knowledge transfer. Multifactorial evolutionary algorithm (MFEA) is one of the most widely used MTO algorithm based on assortative mating and vertical cultural transmission. This work extends MFEA by integrating bone route and large neighborhood local search to solve multi-objective vehicle routing problem with time window (VRPTW). The VRPTW is modeled as two related tasks, i.e., one is a multi-objective version of VRPTW (the main task), and the other is a single-objective version of VRPTW (the auxiliary task). The resultant new algorithm namely multi-objective multi-factorial memetic algorithm (MOMFMA) solve the two tasks simultaneously where the information between the tasks is exchanged in the evolutionary process. In addition to the implicit information transfer of MFEA, the bone route is introduced to enable explicit information transfer between tasks. Particularly, bone routes are constructed as semi-finished product solutions and used in large neighborhood local search. The bone route and the large neighborhood local search work together to speed up the convergence of the algorithm. MOMFMA is tested on Solomon’s 56 datasets and the experimental results demonstrate that the efficiency of MOMFMA. |
