We have two options either we select or exclude the item.
Another approach is to sort the items by cost per unit weight and starts from the highest until the knapsack is full. The greedy approach does not provide the optimal result in this problem. Here, we have to decide whether we have to take the item, i.e., x = 1 or not, i.e., x = 0. In this problem, we cannot take the fraction of the items. Some important points related to the 0/1 Knapsack problem are: This type of problem is solved by using the dynamic programming approach. Here, '0' means that we are not taking that item and '1' means that we are taking the item completely. There is no possibility that we keep some fraction of the item in the knapsack. We either take the item completely and keep in the knapsack or we leave the item completely. In this, we can either take an item or not. Here, indivisible means that we cannot break an item. 0/1 knapsack problem: In the case of 0/1 knapsack problem, items are indivisible. There are two variants of knapsack problem: Here, we have to decide whether we have to include the item or not. 
As we can observe below that the first item has the weight as 12kg and the value as $4, second item has the weight as 2kg and the value as $2, third item has the weight as 1 kg and the value as $1, fourth item has the weight as 4 kg and the value as $10, and the fifth item has the weight as 1 kg and the value as the $2. Some items are given which have some key features, i.e., weight of the item, and the value of the item. The total weight of the items to be included in the knapsack should have the weight less than or equal to the M. It means that the total weight of the knapsack is 15 kg. Suppose we have a knapsack of 15 kg, so M = 15 kg.
The problem often arises in resource allocation where there are financial constraints. It determines the number of each item to be included in a collection so that the total weight M is less than or equal to a given limit and the total value is as large as possible. Given a set of N items - usually numbered from 1 to N each of these items has a mass wi and a value vi. It is a combinatorial optimization-related problem. Some important points related to the knapsack problem are: The thief decides what items are should he keep in the bag so that profit would become maximum. The museum contains various items of different values. The thief contains the knapsack, or we can say bag that has limited weight capacity. Suppose there is a thief and he enters the museum. The problem here is that "Which item is to be placed in the knapsack such that the weight limit does not exceed and the total value of the items is as large as possible?".Ĭonsider the real-life example. 
Suppose you have given a knapsack or bag with a limited weight capacity, and each item has some weight and value.
The optimal substructure and overlapping sub problems properties can be visualized below.Next → ← prev Fractional vs 0/1 knapsack problemīefore understanding the differences between the fractional and 0/1 knapsack problems, we should know about the fractional and 0/1 knapsack problems separately.
Check for optimal substructure and overlapping sub problems – It is easy to see that the problem can be broken down into smaller problems. It is easy as we can’t include items if C = 0 ie capacity of knapsack is zero or N = 0 ie we don’t have items left to process. Find the base case- Now we have to find the base case. This can be broken down into two cases – when we put the nth item in the knapsack or we discard the nth item.į(C,N) = F(C,N-1) Break Down the Problem – In this step we try to break down the problem into smaller problems and assume recursion will solve the smaller problems.į(C,N) = Maximum value of filling C capacity knapsack with N items. To build a top down solution we must follow the following steps – 0-1 Knapsack Problem Solution Memoization or Top Down Solution
