Abstract

In this paper, we develop a new and effective schedule algebra based algorithm to determine the K-best solutions of a knapsack problem with a single constraint. Computational experience with this algorithm is also reported and it is shown to dominate both the dynamic programming and branch and bound based procedures when applied to this problem.
