A Multiobjective Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm Based on Grid Technique and Multistrategy by Kangge Zou, Yanmin Liu, Shihua Wang, Nana Li, Yaowei Wu

“…The algorithm randomly uses one of two different evaluation index strategies (convergence evaluation index and distribution evaluation index) combined with the grid technique to enhance the diversity and convergence of the population and improve the probability of particles flying to the real Pareto front. A combination of grid technology and a mixed evaluation index strategy is used to maintain the external archive to avoid removing particles with better convergence based only on particle density, which leads to population degradation and affects the particle exploitation ability. …”
