A replacement strategy for balancing convergence and diversity in MOEA/D

This paper studies the replacement schemes in MOEA/D and proposes a new replacement named global replacement. It can improve the performance of MOEA/D. Moreover, trade-offs between convergence and diversity can be easily controlled in this replacement strategy. It also shows that different problems need different trade-offs between convergence and diversity. We test the MOEA/D with this global replacement on three sets of benchmark problems to demonstrate its effectiveness.
