Popis: The separable quadratic multi-knapsack problem (QMKP) consists in maximizing a concave separable quadratic integer (non pure binary) function subject to mlinear capacity constraints. In this paper we develop a branch-and-bound algorithm to solve (QMKP) to optimality. This method is based on the computation of a tight upper bound for (QMKP) which is derived from a linearization and a surrogate relaxation. Our branch-and-bound also incorporates pre-processing procedures. The computational performance of our branch-and-bound is compared to that of three exact methods: a branch-and-bound algorithm developed by Djerdjour et al. (1988), a 0-1 linearization method originally applied to the separable quadratic knapsack problem with a single constraint that we extend to the case of mconstraints, a standard branch-and-bound algorithm (Cplex9.0 quadratic optimization). Our branch-and-bound clearly outperforms other methods for large instances (up to 2000 variables and constraints).
