Abstract

A polynomial algorithm for the multiple bounded knapsack problem with divisible item sizes is presented. The complexity of the algorithm is O(n^2+nm), where n and m are the number of different item sizes and knapsacks, respectively. It is also shown that the algorithm complexity reduces to O(nlogn+nm) when a single copy exists of each item.
