Abstract

Two heuristics for the 0-1 multidimensional knapsack problem (MKP) are presented. The first one uses surrogate relaxation, and the relaxed problem is solved via a modified dynamic-programming algorithm. The heuristics provides a feasible solution for (MKP). The second one combines a limited-branch-and-cut-procedure with the previous approach, and tries to improve the bound obtained by exploring some nodes that have been rejected by the modified dynamic-programming algorithm. Computational experiences show that our approaches give better results than the existing heuristics, and thus permit one to obtain a smaller gap between the solution provided and an optimal solution.
