Abstract

Malaguti et al. introduce (Eur J Oper Res 273:874–888, 2019) the Fractional Knapsack Problem with Penalties, which is similar to the classical 0-1 Knapsack problem, except that each of the n variables associated with one of the n items can take any value from the interval [0, 1], and values other than 0 and 1 are penalized. They state that the problem is NP-hard in the ordinary sense as a generalization of the classical 0-1 knapsack problem and develop a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme for the case of non-negative non-decreasing profit functions. It is demonstrated that, unless $$\mathcal P=NP$$ P = N P , no polynomial-time approximation algorithm with any approximation ratio exists for the case of polynomially defined, polynomially computable, discontinuous and non-monotone penalty functions even if there is a single item. A fully polynomial-time approximation scheme which is roughly n times faster than the one of Malaguti et al. for the same case is also presented.
