Abstract

In order to well solve the phase-only reconfigurable arrays synthesis problems, we introduce an adaptive strategy in invasive weed optimization (IWO), and integrate the adaptive IWO (AIWO) into the framework of MOEA/D, a popular multi-objective algorithm. Then, a new version of MOEA/D with adaptive IWO, named MOEA/D-AIWO is proposed in this paper for solving the synthesis problems. In MOEA/D-AIWO, the proposed adaptive strategy is adopted for improving search ability and balancing diversity and convergence. We introduce an adaptive standard deviation, which changes not only with the increase of evolution generations, but also exponentially with the fitness function value of each individual. This strategy improves the convergence rate and helps the seeds escape from local optimum. Taking advantage of the powerful searching ability of invasive weeds and well framework of MOEA/D, the overall performance of the proposed MOEA/D-AIWO is illustrated in solving two sets of phase-only reconfigurable arrays synthesis problems. Comparing results with MOEA/D-IWO (MOEA/D with original IWO) and MOEA/D-DE are also provided in this paper.
