alpar@9: /* Chvatal describes a class of instances of zero-one knapsack problems
alpar@9:    due to Todd. He shows that a wide class of algorithms - including all
alpar@9:    based on branch and bound or dynamic programming - find it difficult
alpar@9:    to solve problems in the Todd class. More exactly, the time required
alpar@9:    by these algorithms to solve instances of problems that belong to the
alpar@9:    Todd class grows as an exponential function of the problem size.
