Abstract

In this paper, two approaches based on evolutionary algorithms are applied to solve a multi-objective optimal control problem governed by semilinear parabolic partial differential equations. In this approach, first, we change the problem into a measure-theoretical one, replace this with an equivalent infinite dimensional multi-objective nonlinear programming problem and apply approximating schemes. Finally, non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm and multi-objective particle swarm optimization are employed to obtain Pareto optimal solutions of the problem. Numerical examples are presented to show the efficiency of the given approach.
