Linux & MacOS -- Windows

Please note that Pisinger's algorithms may be used for academic, non-commercial purposes only.

This package provides a Julia interface to some Pisinger's algorithms.

Installation

This package is not registered in the Julia Package Manager.

    Pkg.add("https://github.com/atoptima/PisingerKnapsack.jl.git")
    Pkg.build("PisingerKnapsack")

Algorithms

Methods return two arguments : obj is the total cost of the knapsack and sol is a vector in which the value of the ith entry is the number the ith item is in the knapsack.

• Minknap algorithm

    obj, sol = minknap(costs::Vector, weights::Vector, capacity::Real)

• Bouknap algorithm

    obj, sol = bouknap(costs::Vector, weights::Vector, itemub::Vector, capacity::Real)

• Mulknap algorithm

    obj, sol = mulknap(costs::Vector, weights::Vector, capacity::Vector)

Note

You need cmake and a C compiler to compile Pisinger algorithms. The compilation takes place in PisingerKnapsack.jl/deps/libpisinger/. The structure of the folder is :

libpisinger
├── bouknap
│   └── CMakeLists.txt
├── minknap
│   └── CMakeLists.txt
└── minmcknap
    └── CMakeLists.txt

For each algorithm, one subfolder contains a cmake file. The build step download in each subfolder the source code of the corresponding algorithm. Then, it creates a build folder, runs cmake and make. At the end, each subfolder will contain a build folder with a dynamic library inside. For example :

libpisinger
├── bouknap
│   ├── CMakeLists.txt
│   ├── bouknap.c
│   └── build
│       ├── CMakeCache.txt
│       ├── Makefile
│       └── libbouknap.dylib

If the build step does not work, these are the steps to build the dynamic libraries of Pisinger's algorithms :

1. Download source files in Pisinger's website and, for each algorithm, move the corresponding file to PisingerKnapsack.jl/deps/libpisinger/<algoname>
2. Create directory build in PisingerKnapsack.jl/deps/libpisinger/<algoname>
3. Go to the folder build, run cmake .., then make
4. Create a file deps.jl and add inside const _jl_lib<algoname> "<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO>/PisingerKnapsack.jl/deps/libpisinger/<algo_name>/build/<dynamic_lib>"
