Multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) that widely exist in real world concern all optimal solutions compromised among multiple objectives. Chicken swarm optimization algorithm derived from emergent behaviors of organisms provides an effective way for handling MOPs. To speed up convergence and improve uniformity of Pareto-optimal solutions, a multi-objective chicken swarm optimization algorithm based on dual external archives and boundary learning strategy (MOCSO-DABL) is proposed in this paper. Dual external archives are employed to distinguish and choose two types of elite solutions, with the purpose of more effectively guiding individual evolution. A boundary learning strategy guides the chickens to learn from boundary individuals in the later stage of evolution. Moreover, fast non-dominated sorting is adopted to establish the hierarchical social structure of a chicken population, and learning strategies of roosters, hens and chicks are improved to meet the requirements of MOPs. Experimental results on 14 benchmark functions show that the proposed MOCSO-DABL outperforms other five state-of-the-art algorithms significantly.
