Abstract. Several problems in the engineering domain are multi-objective in nature. The solution to multi-objective optimization is a set of solutions rather than a single point solution. Such a set of non-dominated solutions are called Pareto optimal solutions or non-inferior solutions. In this paper, a new algorithm, Elitist-Multi-objective Differential Evolution (E-MODE) is proposed. The proposed algorithm is applied successfully on several test functions, and the results are discussed extensively. Results obtained from the proposed algorithm are compared with those obtained using Multi-objective Differential Evolution (MODE) algorithm. E-MODE is found to give better solutions in terms of wide range of solutions, spread, and diversity of Pareto front than those obtained using MODE.
