The knapsack problem is a classic optimisation problem that has been recently extended in the setting of groups. Its study reveals to be interesting since it provides many different behaviours, depending on the considered class of groups. In this paper we deal with groups generated by Mealy automata—a class that is often used to study group-theoretical conjectures—and prove that the knapsack pr...

In this paper, we solve 0-1 knapsack problem using genetic algorithm. The knapsack problem is also called the NP (non deterministic polynomial) problem. We have to maximize the profit value that can be put in to a knapsack under the confinement of its weight. Solve the knapsack problem and also show its possible and effectiveness crowd an example. The Genetic Algorithm uses corrupted renewal an...

Wang and Hu [B. Wang and Y. Hu, Quadratic compact knapsack public-key cryptosystem, Comput. Math. Appl. 59 (1) (2010) 194–206] proposed a knapsack-type public-key cryptosystem by introducing an easy quadratic compact knapsack problem and then using the Chinese remainder theorem to disguise the easy knapsack instant. In this paper, we present a heuristic stereotyped message attack that allows th...

We extend the classical 0-1 knapsack problem by introducing disjunctive constraints for pairs of items which are not allowed to be packed together into the knapsack. These constraints are represented by edges of a conflict graph whose vertices correspond to the items of the knapsack problem. Similar conditions were treated in the literature for bin packing and scheduling problems. For the knaps...

The most efficient algorithms for solving the single-criterion {0,1}-knapsack problem are based on the concept of core, i.e., a small number of relevant variables. But this concept goes unnoticed when more than one criterion is taken into account. The main purpose of the paper is to check whether or not such a set of variables is present in bi-criteria {0-1}knapsack instances. Extensive numeric...

In this paper, we cryptanalyze two knapsack cryptosystems. The first one is proposed by Hwang et al [4], which is based on a new permutation algorithm named Permutation Combination Algorithm. We show that this permutation algorithm is useless to the security of the cryptosystem. Because of the special super increasing structure, we can break this cryptosystem use the method provided by Shamir a...

Floor space optimization is a critical revenue management problem commonly encountered by retailers. It maximizes store optimally allocating floor to product categories which are assigned their most appropriate planograms. We formulate the as connected multi-choice knapsack with an additional global constraint and propose tabu search based meta-heuristic that exploits multiple special neighborh...

In this paper we introduce the knapsack problem for perishable inventories concerning the optimal dynamic allocation of a collection of products to a limited knapsack. The motivation for designing such a problem comes from retail revenue management, where different products often have an associated lifetime during which they can only be sold, and the managers can regularly select some products ...

MPEG-4 is the first visual coding standard that allows coding of scenes as a collection of individual audio-visual objects. We present mathematical formulations for modeling object-based scalability and some functionalities that it brings with it. Our goal is to study algorithms that aid in semi-automating the authoring and subsequent selective addition/dropping of objects from a scene to provi...

In this paper we propose an approach for solving problems of optimal resource capacity allocation to a collection of stochastic dynamic competitors. In particular, we introduce the knapsack problem for perishable items, which concerns the optimal dynamic allocation of a limited knapsack to a collection of perishable or non-perishable items. We formulate the problem in the framework of Markov de...
