DA2MODE introduces a Progressive Adaptive Selector with Exponential Smoothing (PASES), which dynamically updates the selection probabilities of both mutation and crossover operators. Unlike prior approaches that emphasize only mutation operators or rely on short-term success within the current generation, PASES adapts based on cumulative operator performance over time, thus favoring the best-performing operators more reliably. DA2MODE employs an Adaptive Non-Elite Archive Update (ANEAU) mechanism that injects a controlled fraction of non-elite solutions into the archive. ANEAU promotes early exploration, which is gradually reduced to strengthen exploitation. Additionally, the control parameters (crossover probability and mutation factor) are automatically tuned in DA2MODE, allowing full adaptivity of both operator selection and parameter control. Extensive experiments on the CEC2017/2018, CEC2020-2022, and 1000-dimensional CEC2013 benchmarks, along with four real-world engineering design problems, confirm that DA2MODE consistently outperforms 33 competitive algorithms, including CEC winners and recent advanced DE variants. It achieves top performance across all statistical tests, demonstrating superior convergence speed and final accuracy.

Although manufacturers have deployed intelligent reconfigurable job shops equipped with flexible workstations and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), challenges remain due to inefficient material scheduling, delayed deliveries, and the complexity arising from diverse material types. This study proposes an active delivery strategy based on a workshop material supermarket, in which both AGV path planning and workstation layout are jointly optimized in response to dynamically changing orders. A multi-objective delivery path model is formulated to support demand splitting while minimizing material delivery costs and maximizing timeliness satisfaction. The model incorporates constraints related to AGV capacity, path feasibility, and demand alignment. To address the nonlinearity and complexity of the problem, an improved chaotic multi-verse optimizer (ICMVO) is proposed. The algorithm employs chaotic encoding to enhance population diversity and mitigate premature convergence. It further integrates gravitational and collision operators to improve global and local search capabilities and adopts adaptive orbital dynamics control to balance exploration and exploitation. A dual-population iterative strategy is employed to enable joint decision-making on workstation coordinates, path direction, and vehicle assignment. Through comprehensive comparisons with state-of-the-art meta-heuristics, the superiority of the ICMVO algorithm and the effectiveness of its components are demonstrated.

The weight optimization method based on problem transformation can effectively address LSMOPs, demonstrating superior convergence compared to most evolutionary algorithms. However, existing problem transformation methods often fail to balance convergence and diversity, leading to get trapped in local optima. In order to effectively solve this problem, we propose an adaptive weight optimization algorithm based on variable grouping (GWOEA). The algorithm optimizes weights within groups to accelerate population convergence, while the adaptive control strategy boosts diversity, avoiding local optima and ensuring a balance between convergence and diversity during the optimization process. To reduce the size of solving LSMOPs, weight optimization is performed by grouping decision variables. The weights of variables within each group are first computed, and then these weights are directly optimized instead of the decision variables. The adaptive control strategy is designed to detect whether population evolution has stagnated and to handle stagnant populations, ensuring that the population retains its ability to explore. To evaluate the effectiveness of GWOEA, comprehensive comparative experiments are conducted on benchmark test problems, including variable sizes ranging from 500 to 5000.

To address this problem, a novel large-scale optimization framework that integrates a dual-space attention mechanism is proposed in this paper. Different from building attention only with information in decision space, a dual-space Key matrix that quantifies variable importance by combining decision-variable and objective-space distributions is first designed in the framework to refine the precision of the attention.
