BRANCH AND BOUND ( KNAPSACK
ALGORITHM)

0/1 Knapsack using Branch and Bound


Given two arrays v[] and w[] that represent values and weights
associated with n items respectively. Find out the maximum value
subset(Maximum Profit) of v[] such that the sum of the weights of
this subset is smaller than or equal to Knapsack capacity W

Branch and bound algorithm


Branch and bound is an algorithm design paradigm which is
generally used for solving combinatorial optimization problems.
These problems typically exponential in terms of time complexity
and may require exploring all possible permutations in worst
case. Branch and Bound solve these problems relatively quickly.

1.0/1 Knapsack using Greedy Approach:


A Greedy approach is to pick the items in decreasing order of
value per unit weight. The Greedy approach works only for
fractional knapsack problem and may not produce correct result
for 0/1 knapsack.

2. 0/1 Knapsack using Dynamic Programming (DP):


We can use Dynamic Programming (DP) for 0/1 Knapsack
problem. In DP, we use a 2D table of size n x W. The DP Solution
doesn’t work if item weights are not integers.

3. 0/1 Knapsack using Brute Force:


Since DP solution doesn’t always work just like in case of non-
integer weight, a solution is to use Brute Force. With n items, there
are 2n solutions to be generated, check each to see if they satisfy
the constraint, save maximum solution that satisfies constraint.
This solution can be expressed as tree.

4. 0/1 Knapsack using Backtracking :


We can use Backtracking to optimize the Brute Force solution. In

the tree representation, we can do DFS of tree. If we reach a point


where a solution no longer is feasible, there is no need to continue
exploring. In the given example, backtracking would be much
more effective if we had even more items or a smaller knapsack
capacity.

5. 0/1 Knapsack using Branch and Bound:


The backtracking based solution works better than brute force by
ignoring infeasible solutions. We can do better (than
backtracking) if we know a bound on best possible solution
subtree rooted with every node. If the best in subtree is worse
than current best, we can simply ignore this node and its subtrees.
So we compute bound (best solution) for every node and compare
the bound with current best solution before exploring the node.
