makeDTLZ6Function {smoof}

DTLZ6 Function (family)

Description

Builds and returns the multi-objective DTLZ6 test problem. This problem can be characterized by a disconnected Pareto-optimal front in the search space. This introduces a new challenge to evolutionary multi-objective optimizers, i.e., to maintain different subpopulations within the search space to cover the entire Pareto-optimal front.

The DTLZ6 test problem is defined as follows:

Minimize f_1(\mathbf{x}) = (1+g(\mathbf{x}_M)) \cos(\theta_1\pi/2) \cos(\theta_2\pi/2) \cdots \cos(\theta_{M-2}\pi/2) \cos(\theta_{M-1}\pi/2),

Minimize f_2(\mathbf{x}) = (1+g(\mathbf{x}_M)) \cos(\theta_1\pi/2) \cos(\theta_2\pi/2) \cdots \cos(\theta_{M-2}\pi/2) \sin(\theta_{M-1}\pi/2),

Minimize f_3(\mathbf{x}) = (1+g(\mathbf{x}_M)) \cos(\theta_1\pi/2) \cos(\theta_2\pi/2) \cdots \sin(\theta_{M-2}\pi/2),

\vdots\\

Minimize f_{M-1}(\mathbf{x}) = (1+g(\mathbf{x}_M)) \cos(\theta_1\pi/2) \sin(\theta_2\pi/2),

Minimize f_{M}((1+g(\mathbf{x}_M)) \sin(\theta_1\pi/2),

with 0 \leq x_i \leq 1, for i=1,2,\dots,n,

where \theta_i = \frac{\pi}{4(1+ g(\mathbf{x}_M))} (1+2g(\mathbf{x}_M)x_i), for i = 2,3,\dots,(M-1)

and g(\mathbf{x}_M) = \sum\limits_{x_i\in\mathbf{x}_M}x_i^{0.1}
