Abstract: The paper proposes a new strategy to improve the
performance of a standard non-dominated sorting algorithm (NSGA) in
approximating the Pareto-optimal solutions of a multi-objective problem by
introducing new individuals in the population miming the effect of
migrations. The design optimization of a power inductor, synthesizing a
uniform magnetic field for magneto-fluid hyperthermia applications, is
considered as a case study to assess the performance of the
migration-modified NSGA algorithm.
