Degree of Approximation Because our genetic 0-1 knapsack algorithm is an approximation, an important thing to note is the average deviation of the generated solutions at different input sizes. I found ...

Abstract: Knapsack problem is a classical optimization problem in computer science and programming. Knapsack problem main objective is to solve how much the maximum profit can be carried with the ...

The unbounded knapsack problem: given a knapsack of some capacity and a set of items that have a weight and a value, determine the maximum value of items you can place in your knapsack. The number of ...

Abstract: Rapid uptake of distributed energy resources (DER) requires a new market platform for their active participation to manage energy balance locally. This paper proposes a new Peer to Peer (P2P ...

In this talk we will present approximation algorithms (and general techniques) for some basic problems in the field of stochastic optimization. A canonical problem is stochastic knapsack: we are given ...

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg, and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the ...
