摘要
Data structures used for an algorithm can have a great impact on its performance, particularly for the solution of large and complex problems, such as multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs). Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are considered an attractive approach for solving MOPs~ since they are able to explore several parts of the Pareto front simultaneously. The data structures for storing and updating populations and non-dominated solutions (archives) may affect the efficiency of the search process. This article describes data structures used in MOEAs for realizing populations and archives in a comparative way, emphasizing their computational requirements and general applicability reported in the original work.
