摘要: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to test the capability a new population‐based optimization algorithm for solving an NP‐hard problem, called “Multiple Knapsack Problem”, or MKP.Design/methodology/approach Here, intelligent water drops (IWD) algorithm, which modified include suitable local heuristic MKP. Then, proposed used solve MKP.Findings IWD MKP tested by standard problems and results demonstrate that IWD‐MKP trustable promising in finding optimal near‐optimal solutions. It proved has property convergence value.Originality/value This introduces IWD, be first time shows applicable problem. research paves way modify other problems. Moreover, it opens...
