get.knapsack: Enumeration of all existing nonnegative integer solutions for...

In nilde: Nonnegative Integer Solutions of Linear Diophantine Equations with Applications

Description

This function solves the unbounded, bounded and 0-1 knapsack problems.

The unbounded knapsack problem can be written as follows.

maximize c_1s_1 +c_2s_2 +...+ c_ls_l

subject to a_1s_1 +a_2s_2 +...+ a_ls_l <= n,

s_i >= 0, integers.

The bounded knapsack problem has additional constraints, 0 <= s_i <= b_i, i=1,...,l, b_i <= [n/a_i]. The 0-1 knapsack problem arises when s_i= 0 or 1, i=1,...,l.

The algorithm is based on a generating function of Hardy and Littlewood used by Voinov and Nikulin (1997). Subset sum problems are particular cases of knapsack problems when vectors of weights, (a_1,...,a_l), and objectives, (c_1,...,c_l), are equal.

Usage

 get.knapsack(objective,a,n,problem="uknap",bounds=NULL)

Arguments

objective	A vector of coefficients (values of each item in the knapsack) of the objective function to be maximized when solving knapsack problem.
a	An l-vector of weights of each item in a knapsack, with l>= 2.
n	a maximal possible capacity of the knapsack.
problem	one of the following names of the problems to be solved: "uknap" (default) for an unbounded knapsack problem, "knap01" for a 0-1 knapsack problem, and "bknap" for a bounded knapsack problem.
bounds	An l-vector of positive integers, bounds of s_i, i.e. 0 <= s_i <= b_i.

Value

p.n	total number of solutions obtained.
solutions	a matrix with each column representing a solution of n.
