Vector evaluated differential evolution for multiobjective optimization

A parallel, multi-population differential evolution algorithm for multiobjective optimization is introduced. The algorithm is equipped with a domination selection operator to enhance its performance by favouring non-dominated individuals in the populations. Preliminary experimental results on widely used test problems are promising. Comparisons with the VEGA approach are provided and discussed.
