The ease of fixing these variables is measured by a stability index. The potential use of the concept is discussed in the context of approximation algorithms. Generalization to general zero-one problems is also considered.EnglishKnapsack problemsApproximation algorithmsA stability concept for zero-one knapsack problems and approximation algorithmsArticle10.1080/03155986.1995.117322741916-0615
