Overview
The knapsack problem shows up every time there's a budget and we want to use it in the most optimal way possible.
Problem Defintion
The input is given by n items {1, 2 ... n}. Each item comes with a non-negative value vi and a non-negative and integral size wi.
Additionally, a non-negative integral capacity W is also given.
The output should be a subset S ⊆ {1, 2 ... n} that maximizes the value of all objects of the subset:
∑vi i∈S
so they all "fit" within the capacity W:
∑wi ≤ W i∈S
