Dominance in Incomplete Solvers for the Multiple Knapsack Problem

نویسنده

چکیده

We investigate incomplete search algorithms in a search space constrained by a dominance criterion. We propose a new genetic algorithm for the Multiple Knapsack Problem (MKP) which searches a space of candidates which are not dominated according to a dominance criterion. We compare the new algorithm to previous heuristics for the MKP, as well as alternative algorithms, and show experimentally that our new algorithm yields the best performance on difficult instances where item weights and profits are highly correlated.

Integrating Symmetry, Dominance, and Bound-and-Bound in a Multiple Knapsack Solver

The multiple knapsack problem (MKP) is a classical combinatorial optimization problem. A recent algorithm for some classes of the MKP is bin-completion, a bin-oriented, branch-and-bound algorithm. In this paper, we propose path-symmetry and path-dominance, which are instances of the symmetry detection by dominance detection approach for pruning symmetric nodes in the MKP branch-and-bound search...

A branch-and-bound algorithm for hard multiple knapsack problems

The multiple knapsack problem (MKP) is a classical combinatorial optimization problem. A recent algorithm for some classes of the MKP is bin-completion, a bin-oriented, branch-and-bound algorithm. In this paper, we propose path-symmetry and path-dominance criteria for pruning nodes in the MKP branch-and-bound search space. In addition, we integrate the “bound-and-bound” upper bound validation t...

APPROXIMATE ALGORITHM FOR THE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL KNAPSACK PROBLEM BY USING MULTIPLE CRITERIA DECISION MAKING

In this paper, an interesting and easy method to solve the multi-dimensional  knapsack problem is presented. Although it belongs to the combinatorial optimization, but the proposed method belongs to the decision making field in mathematics. In order to, initially efficiency values for every item is calculated then items are ranked by using Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDA).  Finally, ite...

Improving the performance of evolutionary algorithms for the multiobjective 0/1 knapsack problem using ϵ -dominance

The 0/1 knapsack problem is a well known problem occurring in many real world problems. The problem is NP-Complete. The multiobjective 0/1 knapsack problem is a generalization of the 0/1 knapsack problem in which multiple knapsacks are considered. A new evolutionary algorithm for solving multiobjective 0/1 knapsack problem is proposed in this paper. This algorithm used a ε-dominance relation fo...

An Efficient Algorithm for Reducing the Duality Gap in a Special Class of the Knapsack Problem

A special class of the knapsack problem is called the separable nonlinear knapsack problem. This problem has received considerable attention recently because of its numerous applications. Dynamic programming is one of the basic approaches for solving this problem. Unfortunately, the size of state-pace will dramatically increase and cause the dimensionality problem. In this paper, an efficient a...
