Abstract
ABSTRACTThere are a number of algorithms for the solution of continuous optimization problems. However, many practical design optimization problems use integer design variables instead of continuous. These types of problems cannot be handled by using continuous design variables-based algorithms. In this paper, we present a multi-objective integer melody search optimization algorithm (MO-IMS) for solving multi-objective integer optimization problems, which take design variables as integers. The proposed algorithm is a modified version of single-objective melody search (MS) algorithm, which is an innovative optimization algorithm, inspired by basic concepts applied in harmony search (HS) algorithm. Results show that MO-IMS has better performance in solving multi-objective integer problems than the existing multi-objective integer harmony search algorithm (MO-IHS). Performance of proposed algorithm is evaluated by using various performance metrics on test functions. The simulation results show that the proposed MO-IMS can be a better technique for solving multi-objective problems having integer decision variables.
