# Packing
|
||||
|
||||
This folder contains utilities and solvers for several packing problems:
|
||||
knapsack and bin packing, including generalizations. The solvers take as input a
|
||||
problem description in ProtoBuf.
|
||||
|
||||
## Knapsack
|
||||
|
||||
A typical knapsack problem considers a single container (the knapsack) and many
|
||||
items. The container has a maximum capacity, items have both a weight and a
|
||||
value. The goal is to find the subset of items that respects the capacity
|
||||
constraint and has the maximum value. There can be only one container. More
|
||||
generally, the knapsack problem models resource allocation.

||||
