Great the exercise's data is the following:
Consider the knapsack problem (linear programming problem):
max z =23x1+17x2+30x3+14x4+9x5
subject to
6x1+5x2+10x3+7x4+5x5<=14
xi in {0,1} i =1,2,3,4,5
(a) Apply the Branch & Bound algorithm to solve it. Ensure that the selection of the next node for branching is done each time based on the best value of the objective function (Jumbtracking or Best First).
(b) For the above problem, is it possible to tighten the basic constraint of the problem to facilitate the algorithmic process of finding the best value?
(c) Using the constraint of the above problem propose cutoff levels from three different minimum coverages of the problem. (Note: There are more than three). How is the tree of Branch & Bound formed after the introduction of cutoff levels?
Let's address each question individually.
