Genetic algorithms (GAs) are widely used in multi-objective optimization for solving complex problems. There are two distinct approaches for GA design: generational and steadystate algorithms. Most of the current state-of-the-art GAs are generational, although there is an increasing interest to steady-state algorithms as well. However, for algorithms based on non-dominated sorting, most of steady-state implementations have higher computation complexity than their generational counterparts, which limits their applicability.We present a fast implementation of a steady-state version of the NSGA-II algorithm for two dimensions. This implementation is based on a data structure which has O(N ) complexity for single solution insertion and deletion in the worst case. The experimental results show that our implementation works noticeably faster than steady-state NSGA-II implementations which use fast non-dominated sorting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
