Summary: Most multiobjective evolutionary algorithms are based on Pareto dominance for measuring the quality of solutions during their search, among them NSGA-II is well-known. A very few algorithms are based on decomposition and implicitly or explicitly try to optimize aggregations of the objectives. MOEA/D is a very recent such an algorithm. One of the major advantages of MOEA/D is that it is very easy to design local search operator within it using well-developed single-objective optimization algorithms. This chapter compares the performance of MOEA/D and NSGA-II on the multiobjective travelling salesman problem and studies the effect of local search on the performance of MOEA/D.
