We describe an algorithm for the 0-1 knapsack problem (KP), which relies mainly on three new ideas. The first one is to focus on what we call the core of the problem, namely, a knapsack problem ...

Several types of large-sized 0-1 Knapsack Problems (KP) may be easily solved, but in such cases most of the computational effort is used for sorting and reduction. In order to avoid this problem it ...
