Abstract: 

In complex systems, the significance of dynamic multi-objective optimization problems (DMOPs) is on the rise. These problems have several objective functions and constraints that vary over time and considered simultaneously. As a result, the Pareto optimal solutions (POS) and Pareto front (PF) will also vary with time. I am going to propose a combined approach of Cultural Algorithm (CA) based on decomposition (CA/D). The objective of the CA/D algorithm is to decompose DMOP into a number of scalar optimization subproblems and solve simultaneously. All the subproblems are optimized using the information shared only by its neighboring problems. The proposed CA/D is evaluated using a number of CEC 2015 optimization benchmark functions. The results show that CA/D outperforms CA, Multi-population CA (MPCA), and MPCA incorporating game strategies (MPCA-GS) particularly in hybrid and composite benchmark functions.
