The knapsack problem is a problem in combinatorial optimization: Given a set of items, each with a weight and a value, determine the number of each item to include in a collection so that the total ...

A Python implementation of a branch-and-bound approach (plus a simple greedy heuristic) to solve a variation of the multiple knapsack problem where items have both individual and pairwise benefits.

Those algorithms will be tested on both knapsack problems, using several datasets on each problem. The program used to execute the algorithm is Python programming language. The results from this ...
