The First Theoretical Approximation Guarantees for the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm III (NSGA-III)

Renzhong Deng, Weijie Zheng, Benjamin Doerr

This work conducts a first theoretical analysis studying how well the NSGA-III approximates the Pareto front when the population size is less than the Pareto front size. We sho…

A Crowding Distance That Provably Solves the Difficulties of the NSGA-II in Many-Objective Optimization

Weijie Zheng, Yao Gao, Benjamin Doerr

Recent theoretical works have shown that the NSGA-II can have enormous difficulties to solve problems with more than two objectives. In contrast, algorithms like the NSGA-III or SM…
