## Worst-case performance of the successive approximation algorithm for four identical knapsacks

 1 Department of Mathematical Sciences, Tsinghua University, Beijing

Received  August 2011 Revised  February 2012 Published  June 2012

This paper studies the worst-case performance of the successive approximation algorithm for four identical knapsacks. The algorithm packs the knapsacks successively by using an exact algorithm on the remaining items for each single knapsack. We show that it is an $\frac{8}{11}$-approximation algorithm, and the bound is tight.
