... one of these palindromes needs to be at least 4 digits long. However, there are not many of these – namely 1001, 1111, . . . , 1991, 2002 (and the rest is too large). We can write the numbers up to 2018 as 2015 = 1551 + 464, 2016 = 1441 + 575, 2017 = 1331 + 686 and 2018 = 1221 + 797. Assume that 201 ...

... Introduce the concept of slack variables. To illustrate, use the first functional constraint, x1 ≤ 4, in the Wyndor Glass Co. problem as an example. x1 ≤ 4 is equivalent to x1 + x2=4 where x2 ≥ 0. The variable x2 is called a slack variable. (3) Some functional constraints with a greater-than-or-equa ...

... least 10% of the elements fail the “binary search test.” Finally, we conclude that for a sufficiently large constant k, if the list is not 90% sorted, then the algorithm will output false with probability at least 2/3. Lemma 4 If the list A is sorted, the algorithm always returns true. Proof. This le ...

Knapsack problem
The knapsack problem or rucksack problem is a problem in combinatorial optimization: Given a set of items, each with a mass and a value, determine the number of each item to include in a collection so that the total weight is less than or equal to a given limit and the total value is as large as possible. It derives its name from the problem faced by someone who is constrained by a fixed-size knapsack and must fill it with the most valuable items.The problem often arises in resource allocation where there are financial constraints and is studied in fields such as combinatorics, computer science, complexity theory, cryptography and applied mathematics.The knapsack problem has been studied for more than a century, with early works dating as far back as 1897. It is not known how the name ""knapsack problem"" originated, though the problem was referred to as such in the early works of mathematician Tobias Dantzig (1884–1956), suggesting that the name could have existed in folklore before a mathematical problem had been fully defined.
