The 0ߝ1 Knapsack Problem is of a class of typical combinational optimization problems and is NP-hard. It has important practical significance to study it. Based on the characteristics of the 0ߝ1 Knapsack Problem, we design a binary coding directed graph which makes the Ant Colony algorithm suitable for the Knapsack Problem.
