Management Science, Vol. 34, No. 3, Focussed Issue on Heuristics (Mar., 1988), pp. 402-410 (9 pages) A new approximate algorithm for multidimensional zero-one knapsack problems with all positive ...

Branch-and-bound algorithms are adequate for the solution of a wide range of 0-1 knapsack problems. It is shown that the simplest method of branching is as good as any. However, problems with highly ...

The unbounded knapsack problem: given a knapsack of some capacity and a set of items that have a weight and a value, determine the maximum value of items you can place in your knapsack. The number of ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research uses full code samples to detail an evolutionary algorithm technique that apparently hasn't been published before. The goal of a combinatorial optimization ...
