Impact of selection methods on the diversity of many-objective Pareto set approximations

Journal Article
Martí, L., Segredo, E., Sánchez-Pi, N., & Hart, E. (2017)
Impact of selection methods on the diversity of many-objective Pareto set approximations. Procedia Computer Science, 112, (844-853). ISSN 1877-0509
Selection methods are a key component of all multi-objective and, consequently, many-objective optimisation evolutionary algorithms. They must perform two main tasks simultane...
