Abstract

En 中文
It is well known that the linear knapsack problem with general integer variables (LKP) is NP-hard. In this paper we first introduce a special case of this problem and develop an O(n) algorithm to solve it. We then show how this algorithm can be used efficiently to obtain a lower bound for a general instance of LKP and prove that it is at least as good as the linear programming lower bound. We also present the results of a computational study that show that for certain classes of problems the proposed bound on average is tighter than other bounds proposed in the literature.
