In this problem, items are partitioned into classes, and fairness constraints affect the number of items that can or must be chosen from each class. The problem was introduced by Patel et al. (in: Dignum (eds) Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and MultiAgent Systems. International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2021), where approximation algorithms are discussed. This paper describes the first exact solution approaches for the Knapsack Problem with Group Fairness, based on integer linear programming formulations and a dynamic programming algorithm. The latter allows us to establish the complexity of the problem. Finally, a set of computational experiments on benchmark instances derived from the knapsack literature compare the effectiveness of the alternative solution approaches.Alberto Santini was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and by the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) through grant RYC2022-035269-I via MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 of the "Ramón y Cajal" programme and through grant PID2024-161521OA-I00 of the programme "Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento 2024" of the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
