Abstract
The performance evaluation is of vital importance to determine the effectiveness of both the search methods and the optimization parameters. Likewise, the performance evaluation allows us to evaluate if the selected decision variables have a considerable impact on the final result of the optimization and if the search range is adequate. This performance evaluation is achieved through one or several objective functions that the different search algorithms will try to satisfy at the same time as the restrictions specified by the user.
