摘要

变更问题（CMP）于 1970 年提出，是组合优化中的一个经典问题。1975 年，它被证明是 NP 难问题，但可以通过动态编程在伪多项式时间内求解。1999 年，海普克（Heipcke）提出了 CMP 的一个变体，乍一看比标准版本更难。我们证明，事实上，她的变体可以在多项式时间内求解。

On a variant of the change-making problem

The change-making problem (CMP), introduced in 1970, is a classic problem in combinatorial optimisation. It was proven to be NP-hard in 1975, but it can be solved in pseudo-polynomial time by dynamic programming. In 1999, Heipcke presented a variant of the CMP which, at first glance, looks harder than the standard version. We show that, in fact, her variant can be solved in polynomial time.

期刊介绍： Operations Research Letters is committed to the rapid review and fast publication of short articles on all aspects of operations research and analytics. Apart from a limitation to eight journal pages, quality, originality, relevance and clarity are the only criteria for selecting the papers to be published. ORL covers the broad field of optimization, stochastic models and game theory. Specific areas of interest include networks, routing, location, queueing, scheduling, inventory, reliability, and financial engineering. We wish to explore interfaces with other fields such as life sciences and health care, artificial intelligence and machine learning, energy distribution, and computational social sciences and humanities. Our traditional strength is in methodology, including theory, modelling, algorithms and computational studies. We also welcome novel applications and concise literature reviews.
