Improved time and space complexity for Kianfar's inequality rotation algorithm
In this paper, constraint rotation techniques are considered for preconditioning 0–1 knapsack problems. These techniques permit one to generate new inequalities by means of rotation of the original ones in order to approach the convex hull associated with the feasible integer points. The time and space complexities of Kianfar's inequality rotation algorithm for combinatorial problems are improved. A revisited algorithm with order of (n<span style="text-decoration: overline">C</span>) and order of (<span style="text-decoration: overline">C</span>) representing, time and space complexity, respectively, is proposed, where <span style="text-decoration: overline">C</span> is smaller than the knapsack capacity.
