Solve and extend the Knapsack problem
Problem: 0/1 Knapsack with Reconstruction and Variants
You are tasked with implementing a solution for the 0/1 Knapsack problem. You are given n items, each with an integer weight and an integer value, and a knapsack with a maximum capacity W.
Your implementation must:
- Return the maximum total value that can be achieved.
- Reconstruct and return one optimal set of item indices that yields this maximum value.
- Adhere to an
O(nW)time complexity. - Adhere to an
O(W)space complexity.
Additionally, you must:
- Explain how to reconstruct the chosen items from the compressed
O(W)space dynamic programming state. - Outline how to adapt your solution to solve the Unbounded Knapsack variant.
- Outline how to adapt your solution to solve the Bounded Knapsack variant.
- Analyze the time and space complexity for all three variants (0/1, Unbounded, and Bounded).
