If anyone know about NSGA|| evolutionary algorithm then please let me know why crowded distance is not used in initial condition for the generation of the offspring.?
Hello, the reason is that it is a secondary criterion that is used if there is a surplus of solutions based on the non-domination rank, starting from the first/best front, and the last front considered has more solutions than are required in the next generation. More solutions tend to belong to the same non-domination rank as optimization proceeds.
