Knapsack problems intersecting "my" world #dynamic programming #postgresql
I remember enjoying David Pisinger enthusiastically teaching knapsack problems and how to solve them efficiently at the department of computer science in the university of Copenhagen (DIKU) in the late 1990's.
A while back I stumbled over this part of the renowned PostgreSQL free/open source software database: knapsack.c
It's not often subjects I was exposed to with interest at university reveal themselves in tools I use daily, but here is an example.
I wonder if there are any obvious improvements Pisinger would do/suggest :-)
