Abstract

The Quadratic Multiple Knapsack Problem (QMKP) is a variant of the well-known NP-hard knapsack problem that assign profits not only to individual items but also to pairs of items. QMKP aims to maximize a quadratic objective function subject to a linear capacity constraint. In this paper, we focus on proposing a hyper-heuristic approach based in the iterated variable neighborhood descent algorithm for solving the QMKP. Numerical investigations based on well-known benchmark instances are conducted. The results clearly demonstrate the good performance of the proposed algorithm in solving the QMKP.
