Minimize

$$\sum_{i=1}^{n}\sum_{j=1}^{m_i}w_{i,j}v_{i,j}$$

subject to

$$\sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{m_i}{m_i+\sum_{j=1}^{m_i}v_{i,j}} < \theta$$

$$v_{i,j}\in\{0,1\}~\forall i,~j$$

where

  • $w_{i,j}$ and $m_i$ are positive integers (constants)
  • $\theta$ is a positive real number (constant)
  • $v_{i,j}$ are 0-1 variables

is this problem NP-hard?

I think this is 'harder' than knapsack problem and probably should be NP-hard. I surveyed some literature but failed to understand them.
