Solving 0-1 Knapsack and Bin Packing Problem Using Logical Social Group Optimization by Rhiddhi Prasad Das, Junali Jasmine Jena, Suresh Chandra Satapathy, Naeem M. S. Hannoon

“…This prominent research gap has been addressed in this paper by introducing Logical Social Group Optimization (LSGO), a logic-based binarized variant of Social Group Optimization (SGO) that leverages Boolean logic for improved efficiency. In LSGO, after the binarization by replacing the arithmetic operators with logical operators, one of the variables gets cancelled out. …”
