Rule2: If ti≤mink′′∈Γ { Ik′′ } ,maxk∈A{Ik}>0ormaxk′∈B{Ik′}>0, then job inolonger traverses on-peakperiods. Asmentioned above,when there are no jobs that need to traverse non-full on-peakperiods, the time complexity ofGIH-F isO(n2m) andGIH isO(n2m2). This implies thatGIH-F ism times faster thanGIH, theoretically, and the experimentaldataof the small-size instances inTable 5 can verify thisconclusion. FromTable5,wecansee thatRandmarealmost thesameorderofmagnitude. In addition, all the small-size instances canbe solvedwithin0.02 susingGIH-F.Byand large, the computationtimeincreasesslightlywithn,andparameterehasnosignificanteffectonthecomputation time,which indicates that thealgorithmisquitestable. Inaddition, it canbeseenfromTable5 that the smaller the parameter e (i.e., the shorter themakespan), the higher the total electricity cost. Therefore, inaspecific instance, thedecision-makerscanobtainasetofParetosolutionsbyadjusting themakespan,andtheycanchooseasolutionaccordingtoactualneeds.What ismore, it isamazing to see that our algorithmnotonlygreatly improves computation speedbut also further improves theaccuracy. Table6showsthatthenumberofperiodsincreasesquicklywiththenumberof jobs. Sincethetime complexityofGIHisO(n2m2), it’s runtimewill risesharply. Toensure thefeasibilityof thecontrast tests,weaddtworules (i.e.,Rule1andRule2) to improvethecomputationalspeedofGIHwithout changingthecomputationalaccuracy. Intuitively, theCTF is significantly less thanCTH2, whichmeans that the designed filtering mechanism is efficient in dealing with large-scale instances. Specially, as n = 5000 and e = 2.0, ouralgorithmcansolvearandomlygenerated instancewithin1minandmaintain thesameaccuracy asGIH2, while GIH2 takes nearly 39 h, let aloneGIH.Note thatwhen e is set as 3.0, the given makespanisveryabundantandthereisnojobprocessedwithinanon-peakperiodinourexperimental 17
