We present a stochastic knapsack problem with the capacity following a mixed distribution. The problem is an optimization type where one has to maximize the profit of the content of the knapsack without exceeding the capacity of the knapsack and as such the cost is minimized. A mixture of Exponential and Poisson distribution was applied using the multiplicative approach of Mood & Graybill (2006).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
