Abstract

In this paper a new method for Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) has been proposed based on
Central Force Optimization algorithm.Thismethod has been called‘Multi-Objective Central Force
Optimization’ algorithm (MOCFO) . MOCFO utilizes the concept of ‘Pareto Optimality’to identify the
positions of non-dominated vectors and employs a repository to maintain the positions. The
performance of the MOCFO has been evaluated and compared with other optimization techniques
which utilize other heuristic algorithms (e.g. particle swarm optimization, and genetic algorithm). The
simulation results show that the performance of the proposed MOCFO is comparable to, sometimes
better than other MOO techniques.To ensure the true performance of the method presented when
opposed with Multi-Objective Optimization Problems, we evaluate it on standard test functions. The
final results exhibit the robustness and performance of the so-called method which spans new
opportunities of research for the researchers.
