An evolutionary programming algorithm, called evolutionary programming based on uniform design (UDEP), is proposed for multiobjective optimization. Uniform design technique, variable region search, as well as nicheo technique are used. Their combination improves the search ability of EP significantly. Many numerical experimental results show the usefulness of the proposed method.
Keywords: evolutionary programming, multiobjective optimization, uniform design, Pareto-optimality, variable region search
