  2. Knapsack problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem

    Knapsack problems appear in real-world decision-making processes in a wide variety of fields, such as finding the least wasteful way to cut raw materials, [3] selection of investments and portfolios, [4] selection of assets for asset-backed securitization, [5] and generating keys for the Merkle–Hellman [6] and other knapsack cryptosystems.

  3. Change-making problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change-making_problem

    It is a special case of the integer knapsack problem, and has applications wider than just currency. It is also the most common variation of the coin change problem , a general case of partition in which, given the available denominations of an infinite set of coins, the objective is to find out the number of possible ways of making a change ...

  4. Greedy algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm

    Greedy algorithms determine the minimum number of coins to give while making change. These are the steps most people would take to emulate a greedy algorithm to represent 36 cents using only coins with values {1, 5, 10, 20}. The coin of the highest value, less than the remaining change owed, is the local optimum.

  5. List of knapsack problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_knapsack_problems

    The knapsack problem is one of the most studied problems in combinatorial optimization, with many real-life applications. For this reason, many special cases and generalizations have been examined. For this reason, many special cases and generalizations have been examined.

  6. Bin packing problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_packing_problem

    The problem of fractional knapsack with penalties was introduced by Malaguti, Monaci, Paronuzzi and Pferschy. [44] They developed an FPTAS and a dynamic program for the problem, and they showed an extensive computational study comparing the performance of their models.

  7. Cutting stock problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_stock_problem

    For the one-dimensional case, the new patterns are introduced by solving an auxiliary optimization problem called the knapsack problem, using dual variable information from the linear program. The knapsack problem has well-known methods to solve it, such as branch and bound and dynamic programming. The Delayed Column Generation method can be ...

  8. Combinatorial optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_optimization

    A minimum spanning tree of a weighted planar graph.Finding a minimum spanning tree is a common problem involving combinatorial optimization. Combinatorial optimization is a subfield of mathematical optimization that consists of finding an optimal object from a finite set of objects, [1] where the set of feasible solutions is discrete or can be reduced to a discrete set.

  9. Combinatorial participatory budgeting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial...

    The budgeting method most common in practice is a greedy solution to a variant of the knapsack problem: the projects are ordered by decreasing order of the number of votes they received, and selected one-by-one until the budget is exhausted. Alternatively, if the number of projects is sufficiently small, the knapsack problem may be solved ...
