Abstract: Multiobjective optimisation in the CEC 2025 MOP track is evaluated not only by final IGD values but also by how quickly an algorithm reaches the target region under a fixed evaluation budget. This report documents RDEx-MOP, the reconstructed differential evolution variant used in the IEEE CEC 2025 numerical optimisation competition (C06 special session) bound-constrained multiobjective track. RDEx-MOP integrates indicator-based environmental selection, a niche-maintained Pareto-candidate set, and complementary differential evolution operators for exploration and exploitation. We evaluate RDEx-MOP on the official CEC 2025 MOP benchmark using the released checkpoint traces and the median-target U-score framework. Experimental results show that RDEx-MOP achieves the highest total score and the best average rank among all released comparison algorithms, including the earlier RDEx baseline.
