Polynomially Correlated Knapsack is NP-complete

Computational Complexity 2009-10-15 v1

Abstract

0-1 Knapsack is a fundamental NP-complete problem. In this article we prove that it remains NP-complete even when the weights of the objects in the packing constraints and their values in the objective function satisfy specific stringent conditions: the values are integral powers of the weights of the objects.
