Summary: A fully polynomial approximation scheme (FPTAS) is presented for the classical 0-1 knapsack problem. The new approach considerably improves the necessary space requirements. The two best previously known approaches need \(O(n+ 1/\varepsilon^3)\) and \(O(n\cdot 1/\varepsilon)\) space, respectively. Our new approximation scheme requires only \(O(n+ 1/\varepsilon^2)\) space while also reducing the running time.
