📝 Abstract
Dynamic multi-objective optimization with a variable number of objectives is difficult because objective-dimensional variations may significantly change the Pareto front and degrade algorithm adaptability. This paper proposes an unbounded archive-based transfer strategy (UATS), which maintains an unbounded archive of offspring solutions within each environment stage and extracts feasible nondominated solutions as transferable elites when objective changes occur. UATS is embedded into SPEA2SDE to construct UATS-SPEA2SDE, enabling the algorithm to reuse historical evolutionary information while retaining the convergence and diversity advantages of shift-based density estimation. Experiments are conducted on four benchmark problems under three objective-changing settings, where UATS-SPEA2SDE is compared with a restart-based SPEA2SDE baseline and four representative dynamic multi-objective optimization algorithms. The results indicate that the archive-guided transfer improves recovery after environmental changes and enhances adaptability to objective-number variations.
