A new simplified MOPSO based on Swarm Elitism and Swarm Memory: MO-ETPSO
Abstract: This paper presents an algorithm based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), adapted for multi-objective optimization problems: the Elitist PSO (MO-ETPSO). The proposed algorithm integrates core strategies from the well-established NSGA-II approach, such as the Crowding Distance Algorithm, while leveraging the advantages of Swarm Intelligence in terms of individual and social cognition. A novel aspect of the algorithm is the introduction of a swarm memory and swarm elitism, which may turn the adoption of NSGA-II strategies in PSO. These features enhance the algorithm's ability to retain and utilize high-quality solutions throughout optimization. Furthermore, all operators within the algorithm are intentionally designed for simplicity, ensuring ease of replication and implementation in various settings. Preliminary comparisons with the NSGA-II algorithm for the Green Vehicle Routing Problem, both in terms of solutions found and convergence, have yielded promising results in favor of MO-ETPSO.
