Abstract
We investigate a special case of the unbounded knapsack problem in which the item weights form an arithmetic sequence. We derive a polynomial time algorithm for this special case with running time O(n(8)), where n denotes the number of distinct items in the instance. Furthermore, we extend our approach to a slightly more general class of knapsack instances. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
