Abstract

We propose a dead-end control algorithm for the exact solution of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. The efficiency of the algorithm is demonstrated by examples of solving the set-partition and 0-1 knapsack problems. The paper also shows that the use of the idea of dead-end controls when implementing the dynamic programming method can considerably reduce the number of problem state variables at each optimization step. A comparative analysis of the proposed method with known algorithms for solving these problems is carried out.
