R2-EMOA: Focused Multiobjective Search Using R2-Indicator-Based Selection

An indicator-based evolutionary multiobjective optimization algorithm EMOA is introduced which incorporates the contribution to the unary R2-indicator as the secondary selection criterion. First experiments indicate that the R2-EMOA accurately approximates the Pareto front of the considered continuous multiobjective optimization problems. Furthermore, decision makers' preferences can be included by adjusting the weight vector distributions of the indicator which results in a focused search behavior.
