Problem definition (Informal)

Let N={1,2,...,n}$ be a set of n objects and M={1,2,...,m}$ a set of $m$ knapsacks. Each object i of NS is associated with a profit pi and a weight wi. Moreover, each pair of objects i and j (1<= i =\=j <=n) generates a joint profit pij when they are allocated to the same knapsack. Each knapsack k of M has a weight capacity Ck. The quadratic multiple knapsack problem (QMKP) is to assign objects of N to the knapsacks such that the total profit of the allocated objects is maximized while the weight sum of the objects allocated to each knapsack does not exceed the capacity of the knapsack.
