• Abstract: The multidimensional knapsack problem (MKP) is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem whose solution is determining a subset of maximum total profit items that do not violate capacity constraints. Due to its hardness, large-scale MKP instances are usually a target for metaheuristics, a context in which effective feasibility maintenance strategies are crucial. In 1998, Chu and Beasley proposed an effective heuristic repair that is still relevant for recent metaheuristics. However, due to its deterministic nature, the diversity of solutions such heuristic provides is insufficient for long runs. As a result, the search for new solutions ceases after a while. This paper proposes an efficiency-based randomization strategy for the heuristic repair that increases the variability of the repaired solutions without deteriorating quality and improves the overall results.

  We consider a multi-stage dynamic assortment optimization problem with multi-nomial choice modeling (MNL) under resource knapsack constraints. With the exact optimal dynamic assortment solution being computationally intractable, a practical strategy is to adopt the re-solving technique that periodically re-optimizes deterministic linear programs. We propose a new epoch-based re-solving algorithm that effectively transforms the denominator of the objective into the constraint.

  We consider a version of the knapsack problem with profits to guarantee a certain level of confidence in the profit of an item. We introduce multi-objective formulations of the profit chance constrained knapsack problem and design three bi-objective fitness evaluation methods. We show the effectiveness of our approaches on several benchmarks for both settings.

  The integration of constrained optimization models as components in deep networks has led to promising advances on many specialized learning tasks. One typical strategy is algorithm unrolling, which relies on automatic differentiation through the operations of an iterative solver. This paper provides theoretical insights into the backward pass of unrolled optimization, leading to a system for generating efficiently solvable analytical models of backpropagation.

  We consider the dynamic chance-constrained knapsack problem where the weight of each item is the subject of a capacity constraint. The objective is to maximize the total profit subject to the probability that total weight exceeds the capacity. We introduce an additional objective which estimates the minimal capacity bound for a given solution that still meets the chance constraint.
