Resumo:Multiobjective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D) is a well established state-of-the-art framework. Major concerns that must be addressed when applying MOEA/D are the choice of an appropriate scalarizing function and setting the values of main control parameters. This study suggests a weighted stress function method (WSFM) for fitness assignment in MOEA/D. WSFM establishes analogy between the stress-strain behavior of thermoplastic vulcanizates and scalarization of a multiobjective optimization problem. The experimental results suggest that the proposed approach is able to provide a faster convergence and a better performance of final approximation sets with respect to quality indicators when compared with traditional methods. The validity of the proposed approach is also demonstrated on engineering problems.
