Abstract

Given a 0-1 knapsack problem with input drawn from a certain probability distribution, we show that for every &egr; 0, there is a self-checking polynomial-time algorithm that finds an optimal solution with probability at least 1 -&egr;. We also prove some upper and lower bounds on random variables related to the problem.
