In order to evade these problem, Martello and Toth proposed a bound-and-bound algorithm for MKP where at each New algorithm

Some knowledge to guide the branching towards good feasible solutions is needed. The branch-and-bound algorithm needs good lower bounds for fathoming nodes in the enumeration. Generally it is difficult to verify feasibility of an upper bound obtained either by surrogate relaxation or Lagrangian relaxation. Martello and Toth focused on three aspects that make it difficult to solve MKP: ∑ j=1 n w j x ij ⩽c i, i=1,…,m, ∑ i=1 m x ij ⩽1, j=1,…,n, x ij ∈ for the relaxation, thus usually a subgradient optimization technique must be used, Bound-and-bound algorithm Thus we may formally define the 0–1 Multiple Knapsack Problem (MKP) as the ILP problem max ∑ i=1 m ∑ j=1 n p j x ij s.t. Each item j has an associated profit p j and weight w j, and the problem is to select m disjoint subsets of items, such that subset i fits into capacity c i and the total profit of the selected items is maximized. We consider the problem where n given items should be packed in m knapsacks of distinct capacities c i, i=1,…,m. A surprising result is that large instances with n=100 000 items may be solved in less than a second, and the algorithm has a stable performance even for instances with coefficients in a moderately large range. The developed algorithm is compared to the mtm algorithm by Martello and Toth, showing the benefits of the new approach. A new separable dynamic programming algorithm is presented for the solution of Subset-sum Problems, and we also use this algorithm for tightening the capacity constraints in order to obtain better upper bounds.

The recursive branch-and-bound algorithm applies surrogate relaxation for deriving upper bounds, while lower bounds are obtained by splitting the surrogate solution into the m knapsacks by solving a series of Subset-sum Problems. A new exact algorithm for the MKP is presented, which is specially designed for solving large problem instances. The problem has several applications in naval as well as financial management. The recursion tree is for following sample inputs.The Multiple Knapsack Problem (MKP) is the problem of assigning a subset of n items to m distinct knapsacks, such that the total profit sum of the selected items is maximized, without exceeding the capacity of each of the knapsacks. In the following recursion tree, K() refers The time complexity of this naive recursive solution is exponential (2^n). See the following recursion tree, K(1, 1) is being evaluated twice. It should be noted that the above function computes the same sub-problems again and again.
