Combinatorial optimisation for knapsack problems addresses the challenge of selecting discrete items to maximise value under capacity constraints. Such problems are central to resource allocation, ...

Bio-inspired optimisation algorithms draw upon mechanisms observed in nature to address complex global optimisation tasks. These methods harness principles such as genetic evolution, swarm ...
