Abstract

Approximate dynamic programming (ADP) was developed for solving large-scale optimization problems, and function approximation is an important method in the dynamic programming scheme. Continuous quadratic programming relaxation (CQPR) and the integral parts of the solutions to CQPR are two intuitionistic heuristics as function approximations in ADP for solving quadratic knapsack problems (QKPs). We propose a rule of ordering variables to sort the first variable to be solved in ADP, and develop a heuristic which adaptively fixes the variables according to the solution to CQPR of convex QKPs based the rule. By using the rule and heuristics, we propose a sorted ADP heuristic scheme for QKPs.
