Abstract

The values of items of the classic knapsack problems are independent of knapsacks. Inspired from some practical problems, a 0-1 multiple knapsack problems with knapsack dependent item values are proposed. A Greedy heuristic is proposed to provide a feasible solution and a basis for further comparison, and then three ant system algorithms are proposed. To relieve the stagnant phenomenon of the AS and MMAS, MMAS2 is developed with the newly proposed method by mapping the objective periodically for the purpose of adjusting the importance of the pheromone trails, in which the max-min pheromone limitation is also applied. And it has a more chance to find better solutions. Experimental results on randomly generated instances show that the proposed MMAS2 surpasses the MMAS significantly in performance.
