Thirteen years have passed since the seminal book on knapsack
problems by Martello and Toth appeared. On this occasion a former
colleague exclaimed back in 1990: "How can you write 250 pages on
the knapsack problem?" Indeed, the definition of the knapsack
problem is easily understood even by a non-expert who will not
suspect the presence of challenging research topics in this area at
the first glance. However, in the last decade a large number of
research publications contributed new results for the knapsack
problem in all areas of interest such as exact algorithms,
heuristics and approximation schemes. Moreover, the extension of
the knapsack problem to higher dimensions both in the number of
constraints and in the num ber of knapsacks, as well as the
modification of the problem structure concerning the available item
set and the objective function, leads to a number of interesting
variations of practical relevance which were the subject of
intensive research during the last few years. Hence, two years ago
the idea arose to produce a new monograph covering not only the
most recent developments of the standard knapsack problem, but also
giving a comprehensive treatment of the whole knapsack family
including the siblings such as the subset sum problem and the
bounded and unbounded knapsack problem, and also more distant
relatives such as multidimensional, multiple, multiple-choice and
quadratic knapsack problems in dedicated chapters."
