This paper proposes a multi-objective lion swarm optimization based on multi-agent (MOMALSO) for solving the increasingly complex multi-objective optimization problem in engineering practice. First, the Multi-agent system is introduced into the lion swarm optimization (LSO) algorithm. The optimization mechanism of LSO and the information exchange between the agents are integrated to enhance the local search and global search ability of the algorithm, and the self-learning operation can accelerate the approximate Pareto front obtained by the algorithm near to real front. Besides, the external archive is introduced for extending the LSO into a multi-objective algorithm. Finally, the simulations compared with other three algorithms are performed, and the results show that MOMALSO has significant advantages in both convergence and coverage, which verifies the superiority and effectiveness of the algorithm in multi-objective optimization.
