Knapsack Problems

Abstract

The multiple knapsack problem is a generalization of the standard knapsack problem (KP) from a single knapsack to m knapsacks with (possibly) different capacities. The objective is to assign each item to at most one of the knapsacks such that none of the capacity constraints are violated and the total profit of the items put into knapsacks is maximized.
