| Keywords: | knapsack problem |
The optimal solution value of the multiknapsack problem as a function of the knapsack capacities is studied under the assumption that the profit and weight coefficients are generated by an appropriate random mechanism. A strong asymptotic characterization is obtained, that yields a closed form expression for certain special cases.
