Maximum sum of values of N items in 0-1 Knapsack by reducing weight of at most K items in half

Given weights and values of N items and the capacity W of the knapsack. Also given that the weight of at most K items can be changed to half of its original weight. The task is to find the maximum sum of values of N items that can be obtained such that the sum of weights of items in knapsack does not exceed the given capacity W.
Examples:
Input: W = 4, K = 1, value = [17, 20, 10, 15], weight = [4, 2, 7, 5]Output: 37
Explanation: Change the weight of at most K items to half of the weight in a optimal way to get maximum value. Decrease the weight of first item to half and add second item weight the resultant sum of value is 37 which is maximumInput: W = 8, K = 2, value = [17, 20, 10, 15], weight = [4, 2, 7, 5]
Output: 52
Explanation: Change the weight of the last item and first item and the add the weight the of the 2nd item, The total sum value of item will be 52.
Approach: Given problem is the variation of the 0 1 knapsack problem. Flag indicates number of items whose weight has been reduced to half. At every recursive call maximum of following cases is calculated and returned:
- Base case: If the index exceeds the length of values then return zero
- If flag is equal to K, maximum of 2 cases is considered:
- Include item with full weight if item’s weight does not exceed remaining weight
- Skip the item
- If flag is less than K, maximum of 3 cases is considered:
- Include item with full weight if item’s weight does not exceed remaining weight
- Include item with half weight if item’s half weight does not exceed remaining weight
- Skip the item

Time Complexity: O(3^N)
Auxiliary Space: O(N)
Given problem is the variation of the 0-1 knapsack problem. In traditional 0-1 Knapsack problem, we only have to choices: skip the i-th item or take it.
However, in this case we will have 3 choices as mentioned in the recursive approach.
Efficient Approach (Dynamic Programming):
In Dynamic programming, we will work considering the same cases as above. We shall consider a 3D DP table where the state DP[i][j][k] will denote the maximum value we can obtain if we are considering values from 1 to i-th, weight of the knapsack is j and we can half the weight of at most k values. Basically, we are adding one extra state, the number of weights that can be halved in a traditional 2-D 01 knapsack DP matrix.
Now, three possibilities can take place:
- Include item with full weight if the item’s weight does not exceed the remaining weight
- Include the item with half weight if the item’s half weight does not exceed the remaining weight
- Skip the item
Now we have to take the maximum of these three possibilities. If we do not take the i-th weight then dp[i][j][k] would remain equal to dp[i – 1][j][k], just llike traditional knapsack. If we include item with half weight then dp[i][j][k] would be equal to dp[i – 1][j – wt[i] / 2][k – 1] + val[i] as after including i-th value our remaining knapsack capacity would be j – wt[i] / 2 and our number of half operations would increase by 1. Similarly, if we include item with full weight then dp[i][j][k] would be equal to dp[i – 1][j – wt[i]][k] + val[i] as knapsack capacity in this case would reduce to j – wt[i].
We simply take the maximum of all three choices.
Below is the code implementation of above approach:
C++
#include <iostream>#include <vector>#include <cstring>using namespace std;int getMaximumNutrition(int W, vector<int> value, vector<int> weight, int x) { int n=value.size(); int dp[n + 1][W + 1][x + 1]; /* dp[i][j][k] denotes the maximum value that we can obtain if we are considering first i elements of array, our capacity is j and we can use only k half operations */ memset(dp, 0, sizeof(dp)); for(int i = 1;i <= n; i++) { for(int j = 1;j <= W; j++) { int lim = x; if(lim > i) { lim = i; } for(int k = 0;k <= lim; k++) { dp[i][j][k] = max(dp[i - 1][j][k], dp[i][j][k]);//skip int val = j - (weight[i - 1] / 2); if(val >= 0 && k > 0)//ensure that j-weight[i-1]/2 and k-1 don't become -ve { dp[i][j][k] = max(dp[i - 1][val][k - 1]+value[i - 1], dp[i][j][k]); //take item applying half operation } val = j - weight[i - 1]; if(val >= 0)//ensure that j-weight[i-1] doesn't become -ve { dp[i][j][k] = max(dp[i - 1][val][k] + value[i - 1], dp[i][j][k]); //take item without applying half operation } } } } return dp[n][W][x];}int main() { vector<int> value = {17, 20, 10, 15}; vector<int> weight = {4, 2, 7, 5}; int x = 1; int W = 4; cout << getMaximumNutrition(W, value, weight, x); return 0;} |

Auxiliary Space: O(n*W*K)
Note that space complexity can be further reduced to O(W*2*2) as for computing some dp[i][j][k] we only need to know values at current and previous i-th and k-th state. Time complexity will remain the same.
