  2. Knapsack problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem

    Knapsack problems appear in real-world decision-making processes in a wide variety of fields, such as finding the least wasteful way to cut raw materials, [3] selection of investments and portfolios, [4] selection of assets for asset-backed securitization, [5] and generating keys for the Merkle–Hellman [6] and other knapsack cryptosystems.

  3. List of knapsack problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_knapsack_problems

    The knapsack problem is one of the most studied problems in combinatorial optimization, with many real-life applications. For this reason, many special cases and generalizations have been examined. For this reason, many special cases and generalizations have been examined.

  4. Bin packing problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_packing_problem

    The bin packing problem can also be seen as a special case of the cutting stock problem. When the number of bins is restricted to 1 and each item is characterized by both a volume and a value, the problem of maximizing the value of items that can fit in the bin is known as the knapsack problem.

    Note: consider In the 2-weighted knapsack problem, where each item has two weights and a value, and the goal is to maximize the value such that the sum of squares of the total weights is at most the knapsack capacity: (,) + (,). We could solve it using a similar DP, where each state is (current weight 1, current weight 2, value).

  6. Change-making problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change-making_problem

    It is a special case of the integer knapsack problem, and has applications wider than just currency. It is also the most common variation of the coin change problem , a general case of partition in which, given the available denominations of an infinite set of coins, the objective is to find out the number of possible ways of making a change ...

  7. Dynamic programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming

    If the solution to any problem can be formulated recursively using the solution to its sub-problems, and if its sub-problems are overlapping, then one can easily memoize or store the solutions to the sub-problems in a table (often an array or hashtable in practice). Whenever we attempt to solve a new sub-problem, we first check the table to see ...

  8. Cutting stock problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_stock_problem

    For the one-dimensional case, the new patterns are introduced by solving an auxiliary optimization problem called the knapsack problem, using dual variable information from the linear program. The knapsack problem has well-known methods to solve it, such as branch and bound and dynamic programming. The Delayed Column Generation method can be ...

  9. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    Many of these problems can be related to real-life packaging, storage and transportation issues. Each packing problem has a dual covering problem, which asks how many of the same objects are required to completely cover every region of the container, where objects are allowed to overlap. In a bin packing problem, people are given:
