This research aims to show the performance of some genetic multi-goals algorithms, especially those known as many-objective, applied on a discrete problem, the knapsack problem. In addition, a study of the evolution of genetic algorithms, wich are a non-deterministic approach to solving problems, will be written. The study will go through multi-objectives algorithms, that solve 2 or 3 objective functions, and ending in the many-objectives, which are able to solve problems with various objective functions, ie starting on 4. It is established a comparitive performance analysis of the NSGA-II algorithms (Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II) and SPEA2 (Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2), considered multi-objective, and the mos...
