Abstract

We consider various special cases of the quadratic 0-1 knapsack problem (QKP) for which the underlying graph structure is fairly simple. For the variant with edge series-parallel graphs, we give a dynamic programming algorithm with pseudo-polynomial time complexity, and a fully polynomial time approximation scheme. In strong contrast to this, the variant with vertex series-parallel graphs is shown to be strongly NP-complete.
