Relaxation Lagrangienne: Le Probleme Du Knapsack 0–1Footnote

Pages 315-327 | Received 04 Oct 1982, Published online: 25 May 2016
 

Abstract

We study the Lagrangian relaxation for the knapsack 0–1 problem and we present some of its characteristics. The three main steps of the algorithms to solve large scale knapsack 0–1 problems are: (1) solution of the associated linear program, (2) reduction of the number of variabies, and (3) choice of an implicit enumeration scheme. A particular 0–1 knapsack problem called “the value-independent knapsack problem” is also presented. We conclude by a qualification of the results exposed in this paper.

Résumé

Etant donné le probème du knapsack 0–1, nous étudions sa relaxation Lagrangienne classique et développons quelques propriétés caractéristiques du problème en question. Nous présentons les trois phases principales des algorithmes pour les problèmes de grande taille: (1) résolution du programme linéaire associé au problème du knapsack 0–1, (2) réduction de la taille de ce problème, et (3) résolution du problème réduit par une méthode d’énumération implicite. Une variante plus difficile de ce problème, quand les coefficients de la contrainte et de la fonction économique sont égaux pour chaque variable est exposée également. Cette étude est évaluée dans la conclusion.
