Thus, most of the works in the context of MOPs do not explore in-depth how different constraints affect the performance of MOP solvers. Here, we focus on exploring the effects of different Constraint Handling Techniques (CHTs) on MOEA/D, a commonly used MOP solver when solving complex real-world MOPs. Moreover, we introduce a simple and effective CHT focusing on the exploration of the decision space, the Three Stage Penalty. We explore each of these CHTs in MOEA/D on two simulated MOPs and six analytic MOPs (eight in total). The results of this work indicate that while the best CHT is problem-dependent, our new proposed Three Stage Penalty achieves competitive results and remarkable performance in terms of hypervolume values in the hard simulated car design MOP.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.09722v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.09722v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"exploring-constraint-handling-techniques-in","repo_url":"https://github.com/LordeFelipe/MultiObjectiveProjects","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
