Knapsack problem with objective value gaps [PDF]
International audienceWe study a 0-1 knapsack problem, in which the objective value is forbidden to take some values. We call gaps related forbidden intervals.

Using incentive payments to promote human–carnivore coexistence
Abstract For many large carnivores, minimizing the financial burden they impose on local people is critical to their conservation. Incentive‐based programs that provide people with financial benefits for taking pro‐conservation actions or achieving conservation goals are a promising tool for promoting human–carnivore coexistence. Although the number of

A Constant Factor Approximation Algorithm for Unsplittable Flow on Paths [PDF]
In the unsplittable flow problem on a path, we are given a capacitated path $P$ and $n$ tasks, each task having a demand, a profit, and start and end vertices.

Exploring drivers and costs of partial trans‐Saharan migration in juvenile vultures
Partial migration occurs when only a subset of individuals within a population undertakes a migratory journey. The decision to migrate can be influenced by intrinsic traits (e.g. sex or physical condition) as well as by extrinsic factors (e.g. social environment or resource availability).

Scatter Search for the 0–1 Multidimensional Knapsack Problem
The evolutionary metaheuristic called scatter search has been applied successfully to optimization problems for several years. In this paper, we apply the scatter search technique to the well-known 0-1 multidimensional knapsack problem. We propose a new relaxation-based diversification generator, which produces an initial population with elite ...

Abstract The application of automated ground vehicles (AGVs) is well‐established in closed environments such as port terminals, while their operation in open areas remains challenging. In this work, we set out to overcome this limitation by introducing platooning as a transfer mode in heterogeneous vehicle networks.

Topology Knapsack Problem for Geometry Optimization
The knapsack problem is a classic NP-hard optimization challenge with wide-ranging applications in computer science, such as resource allocation. While several variants have been developed, including the 0/1, fractional, and multi-dimensional knapsack ...

SOLVING MULTIPLE-CONTAINER PACKING PROBLEMS USING PSEUDO-MEIOSIS GENETIC ALGORITHM
Knapsack problems are a class of common but difficult (NP-complete or NP -hard) problems. Since, it is believed that no knapsack problem algorithm can be constructed whose computation time optimality increases as any polynomial function of the problem ...
