The surrogate dual of the 0-1 bidimensional knapsack problem is exactly solved by an algorithm with a modified dichotomic search. The primal (or dual) optimality is proved with a finite number of iterations. A lot of numerical experiments show the efficiency of the present method: its reduced number of iterations is revealed to be independent of the size of the instances.
