Adaptive Multi-Objective Optimization Based on Feedback Design

The problem of adaptive multi-objective optimization(AMOO) has received extensive attention due to its practical significance.An important issue in optimizing a multi-objective system is adjusting the weighting coefficients of multiple objectives so as to keep track of various conditions.In this paper,a feedback structure for AMOO is designed.Moreover,the reinforcement learning combined with hidden biasing information is applied to online tuning weighting coefficients of objective functions.Finally,the proposed approach is applied to the optimization design problem of an elevator group control system.Simulation results show that AMOO has the best average performance at up-peak traffic profile,and its average waiting time reaches 22 s.AMOO is suitable for various traffic patterns,and it is also superior to the majority of algorithms at down-peak traffic profile.
