We consider chance-constrained binary knapsack problems, where the weights of items are independent random variables with the means and standard deviations known. The chance constraint can be reformulated as a second-order cone constraint…
We study the two-dimensional geometric knapsack problem (2DK) in which we are given a set of n axis-aligned rectangular items, each one with an associated profit, and an axis-aligned square knapsack. The goal is to find a (non-overlapping)…
In the bottleneck multiple knapsack problem, we are given a set of items and a set of knapsacks, where each item has a profit and a weight, and each knapsack has a capacity. Our goal is to assign items to knapsacks so as to maximize the…
The $1 \mid \mid \Sigma w_j U_j$ problem asks to determine -- given $n$ jobs each with its own processing time, weight, and due date -- the minimum weighted number of tardy jobs in any single machine non-preemptive schedule for these jobs.…
A variant of the well-known Knapsack Problem is studied in this paper, where pairs of items are conflicting, and cannot be selected at the same time. This configures a set of hard constraints. The problem, which can be used to model real…
In this work, we consider the Submodular Maximization under Knapsack (SMK) constraint problem over the ground set of size $n$. The problem recently attracted a lot of attention due to its applications in various domains of combination…
In the knapsack problem under explorable uncertainty, we are given a knapsack instance with uncertain item profits. Instead of having access to the precise profits, we are only given uncertainty intervals that are guaranteed to contain the…
An instance of the multiperiod binary knapsack problem (MPBKP) is given by a horizon length $T$, a non-decreasing vector of knapsack sizes $(c_1, \ldots, c_T)$ where $c_t$ denotes the cumulative size for periods $1,\ldots,t$, and a list of…
In this paper, we study the non-monotone adaptive submodular maximization problem subject to a knapsack and a $k$-system constraints. The input of our problem is a set of items, where each item has a particular state drawn from a known…
Obtaining strong linear relaxations of capacitated covering problems constitute a major technical challenge even for simple settings. For one of the most basic cases, the Knapsack-Cover (Min-Knapsack) problem, the relaxation based on…
For any given $\epsilon>0$ we provide an algorithm for the Densest $k$-Subhypergraph Problem with an approximation ratio of at most $O(n^{\theta_m+2\epsilon})$ for $\theta_m=\frac{1}{2}m-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2m}$ and run time at most…
The random-order or secretary model is one of the most popular beyond-worst case model for online algorithms. While it avoids the pessimism of the traditional adversarial model, in practice we cannot expect the input to be presented in…
The purpose of this paper is to solve the 0-1 $k$-item quadratic knapsack problem $(kQKP)$, a problem of maximizing a quadratic function subject to two linear constraints. We propose an exact method based on semidefinite optimization. The…
We study the knapsack problem with group fairness constraints. The input of the problem consists of a knapsack of bounded capacity and a set of items, each item belongs to a particular category and has and associated weight and value. The…
We first give an $\O(2^{n/3})$ quantum algorithm for the 0-1 Knapsack problem with $n$ variables. More generally, for 0-1 Integer Linear Programs with $n$ variables and $d$ inequalities we give an $\O(2^{n/3}n^d)$ quantum algorithm. For $d…
We consider the online vector packing problem in which we have a $d$ dimensional knapsack and items $u$ with weight vectors $\mathbf{w}_u \in \mathbb{R}_+^d$ arrive online in an arbitrary order. Upon the arrival of an item, the algorithm…
In the \textsc{2-Dimensional Knapsack} problem (2DK) we are given a square knapsack and a collection of $n$ rectangular items with integer sizes and profits. Our goal is to find the most profitable subset of items that can be packed…
We consider the product knapsack problem, which is the variant of the classical 0-1 knapsack problem where the objective consists of maximizing the product of the profits of the selected items. These profits are allowed to be positive or…
Pruhs and Woeginger prove the existence of FPTAS's for a general class of minimization and maximization subset selection problems. Without losing generality from the original framework, we prove how better asymptotic worst-case running…
Knapsack problems (KPs) are common in industry, but solving KPs is known to be NP-hard and has been tractable only at a relatively small scale. This paper examines KPs in a slightly generalized form and shows that they can be solved nearly…
