In this thesis we develop FPTASs for the counting problems of m-tuples, contingency tables with two rows, and 0/1 knapsack. For the problem of counting m-tuples, we design two algorithms, one is strongly polynomial. As far as we know, these…

We study pseudo-polynomial time algorithms for the fundamental \emph{0-1 Knapsack} problem. In terms of $n$ and $w_{\max}$, previous algorithms for 0-1 Knapsack have cubic time complexities: $O(n^2w_{\max})$ (Bellman 1957), $O(nw_{\max}^2)$…

We introduce and study a novel generalization of the classical Knapsack Problem (KP), called the Colored Knapsack Problem (CKP). In this problem, the items are partitioned into classes of colors and the packed items need to be ordered such…

In this paper we consider the discounted 0-1 knapsack problem (DKP), which is an extension of the classical knapsack problem where a set of items is decomposed into groups of three items. At most one item can be chosen from each group and…
