Exploring the Impact of Local Operator Configurations in the Multi-Demand Multidimensional Knapsack Problem by José García, Ivo Cattarinich, Paola Moraga, Hernan Pinto

“…Experimental results on benchmark instances with different sizes (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>n</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>100</mn><mo>,</mo><mn>250</mn><mo>,</mo></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> and 500) show that the All Operator configuration consistently achieves better maximum and average values. In large-scale instances (<i>n</i> = 500), the “All Operator” configuration achieves an average maximum value of 107,967, which is approximately 1.4% higher than the 106,490 achieved by the “Add Operator” and about 0.2% higher than the 107,771 obtained by the “Swap Operator”, while significantly outperforming the “Drop Operator” (average maximum of 99,164). …”
