Abstract

We develop a polynomial-time algorithm for a class of nonseparable convex maximization problems with continuous knapsack constraints based on an analysis of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions and the special problem structure. This problem class has applicability in areas such as production and logistics planning and financial engineering.
