  • 通过交叉派系重组,直接拼接互补模板实现高效共识解搜索。
  • 在MP-JCG上,新算法仅需O(n log n)次评估即找到共同最优解,而基线需Θ(n²)。
  • 适用于需要多方协同决策的复杂优化场景,如分布式资源分配与网络设计。

多方多目标优化问题(MPMOPs)要求自主决策方之间达成共识,不同于传统的扁平化多目标方法。现有多目标进化算法的运行时理论主要针对单方帕累托前沿近似,无法直接解释MPMOPs中的共同解搜索。本文研究了两种典型设置下的跨派系重组。在具有显式间隙区域的伪布尔基准MP-JCG上,证明收益导向的变异基线面临跨间隙瓶颈,需Θ(n²)次期望适应度评估;而解析型CPR-NSGA-II变体通过直接组装分布在各派系种群中的互补前缀与后缀模板,在O(n log n)次期望评估内发现所有共同帕累托最优解。与扁平化四目标形式F-JCG对比,全前沿覆盖分析揭示了扁平化带来的额外覆盖负担。对于双派系、每派系两目标的多目标最小生成树问题BPBOMST,提出分层支持覆盖分析:每个共同帕累托目标向量经对称平均投影生成辅助双目标MST实例,合适的支撑代表可构成2λ-共同近似覆盖,其中λ∈[1,2]。进一步推导出基于边并重组与均匀修复的代表性池CPR-NSGA-II变体的实例参数化期望运行时界,该界分离了局部辅助前沿填充、跨派系重组捷径及边并修复模糊性的影响。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multi-party multi-objective optimization problems (MPMOPs) require consensus among autonomous decision makers and therefore differ from flattened many-objective formulations. Existing runtime theory for multi-objective evolutionary algorithms is largely tailored to single-party Pareto-front approximation and does not directly explain common-solution search in MPMOPs. We investigate cross-party recombination in two representative settings. On MP-JCG, a pseudo-Boolean benchmark with an explicit gap region, we prove that a payoff-guided mutation baseline faces a gap-crossing bottleneck requiring \(Θ(n^2)\) expected fitness evaluations. In contrast, an analytical CPR-NSGA-II variant discovers both common Pareto-optimal solutions in \(O(n\log n)\) expected evaluations by directly assembling complementary prefix and suffix templates distributed across party populations. Comparing this with the flattened four-objective formulation F-JCG, our full-front coverage analysis illustrates the additional coverage burden introduced by flattening. For BPBOMST, the bi-party, two-objective-per-party specialization of the multi-party multi-objective minimum spanning tree problem, we develop a layered support-cover analysis. For each common Pareto objective vector, the symmetric average projection induces an auxiliary bi-objective MST instance, and suitable support representatives yield a \(2λ\)-common approximation cover with \(λ\in[1,2]\). We further derive an instance-parameterized expected runtime bound for a representative-pool CPR-NSGA-II variant using edge-union recombination and uniform repair. This bound separates the effects of local auxiliary-front filling, cross-party recombination shortcuts, and edge-union repair ambiguity.
