Question

Part1: Write a program in C/C++ to solve the 0/1 knapsack problem using (i) Dynamic Programming based algorithm and (ii) Branch and Bound Search based algorithm Go through the related text and implement each of these algorithms using the efficient data structure. Show the results of different steps of these algorithms for an instance of the 0/1 Knapsack problem with number of items, n=4. The capacity of the knapsack, weights and profits of the items may be generated randomly with the condition that the capacity of the knapsack is such that all items can not be accommodated in the knapsack. But, at the same time, at least one item can be accommodated in the knapsack. Part2: Analyze the complexity of these algorithms (Run each of the two algorithms for a set of ten randomly generated 0/1 knapsack instances (with n=4) and compute the time taken by the selected implementation in each run. Compute average time taken by each of these two algorithms

Answer 1

Part 1)

i) DP approach-

int knapsack(int val[], int wt[], int W, int n){

int dp[n+1][W+1];

if(n==0 || W==0)
return 0;

        for(int i=0;i<=n;i++) dp[i][0]=0;
        for(int i=0;i<=W;i++) dp[0][i]=0;

        for(int i=1;i<=n;i++){
            for(int j=1;j<=W;j++){

                    int maxWithoutItem=dp[i-1][j];

                    int maxWithItem=0;
                        int wtofitem=wt[i-1];
                    if(j>=wtofitem){
                        maxWithItem=val[i-1];
                        int remainingcapacity= j-wtofitem;
                        maxWithItem+=dp[i-1][remainingcapacity];
                    }                
            
            dp[i][j]=max(maxWithoutItem,maxWithItem);
        }
        }

    return dp[n][W];
}


int main() {
    //cout<<"Hello World!";

int n=4;
int W=10;

    int val[]={10,40,30,50};
    int wt[] ={5,4,6,3};

    cout<<"Maximum profit earned is: "<<knapsack(val,wt,W,n);


    return 0;
}

Time complexity- O(n*W)

Space Complexity- O(n*W)

ii) Branch and Bound approach-

Complete Algorithm:

1. Sort all items in decreasing order of ratio of value per unit weight so that an upper bound can be computed using Greedy Approach.
2. Initialize maximum profit, maxProfit = 0
3. Create an empty queue, Q.
4. Create a dummy node of decision tree and enqueue it to Q. Profit and weight of dummy node are 0.
5. Do following while Q is not empty.
   • Extract an item from Q. Let the extracted item be u.
   • Compute profit of next level node. If the profit is more than maxProfit, then update maxProfit.
   • Compute bound of next level node. If bound is more than maxProfit, then add next level node to Q.
   • Consider the case when next level node is not considered as part of solution and add a node to queue with level as next, but weight and profit without considering next level nodes
