Hybrid Artificial Glowworm Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Solving Multi-dimensional Knapsack Problem

AbstractIn this paper, a hybrid artificially glowworm swarm optimization algorithm to solve multidimensional 0-1 knapsack problem is proposed. The algorithm utilizes two important strategies, how to select the item based on its unit volume value and the binary glowworm swarm optimization algorithm, 37 multidimensional 0-1 knapsack test instances are tested by the produced algorithm, The integrated performance of the produced algorithm is rather satisfied, and the hybrid glowworm swarm optimization algorithm is rather efficient for solving multidimensional 0-1 knapsack problem
