Research Type Theoretical In this paper, we present a runtime analysis of using two CHM operators in MOEA/D framework for solving five benchmark MOPs, including four bi-objective and one many-objective problems. Our analyses show that the expected runtimes of CHM operators on the four bi-objective problems are better than or as good as that of the well-studied standard bit mutation operator. Moreover, using CHM operators in MOEA/D framework can improve the best known upper bound on the many-objective problem by a factor of n. This paper provides insight into understanding the optimization behavior of CHM operators in the well-known MOEA/D framework, and indicates that using the CHM operator in MOEA/D framework is a promising method for handling MOPs.

Experiment Setup Yes As in the previous runtime analyses on CHM1 and CHM2 operators (Jansen and Zarges 2011; 2014; Xia and Zhou 2018), we only consider the case of r = 1 in this analysis. ... Similar to runtime analysis in (Li et al. 2016), Tchebycheff approach is used in this paper. ... For Algorithm 1, we use the classical Das and Dennis s approach (1998) to generate the N evenly distributed weight vectors for all considered problems, i.e., taking λk [1..N] i [1..m] from { 0 H } such that m i=1 λk i = 1, where H is a positive integer and N = H+m 1 m 1 .
