Abstract: Meta-heuristic methods such as genetic algorithms (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) have been extended to multi-objective optimization problems, and have been observed to be useful for finding good approximate Pareto optimal solutions. In order to improve the convergence and the diversity in the search of solutions using meta-heuristic methods, this paper suggests a new method to make offspring by utilizing the expected improvement (EI) and generalized data envelopment analysis (GDEA). In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed method will be investigated through several numerical examples in comparison with the conventional multi-objective GA and PSO methods.
