The self-adaptive Pareto differential evolution algorithm

The Pareto differential evolution (PDE) algorithm was introduced and showed competitive results. The behavior of PDE, as in many other evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) methods, varies according to the crossover and mutation rates. In this paper, we present a new version of PDE with self-adaptive crossover and mutation. We call the new version self-adaptive Pareto differential evolution (SPDE). The emphasis of this paper is to analyze the dynamics and behavior of SPDE. The experiments also show that the algorithm is very competitive with other EMO algorithms.
