Experimantal evaluation of some approximate algorithms of solving the multidimensional knapsack problem

Abstract

The results of an experimental study of obtaining approximate solutions of the multidimensional knapsack problem are presented in the paper. Three methods for obtaining these solutions are considered, based on branch-end-bound algorithms with a one-sided branching. One hundred test tasks of different dimensions have been solved for each method. The estimation of the approximation of the solutions obtained in relation to the best solution is provided, as well as the estimation of the computational complexity.
