Results of Different Genetic Algorithms

Here are the results of executing a wide range of GAs on Solomon's instances. For each instance and algorithm we give the average number of vehicles (main goal, in bold) and the average tour length.

Table 1: Results of genetic algorithms on Solomon's benchmark instances. For each problem class, the average number of vehicles (bold) and the average tour length are shown.
