Optimal Online Algorithms for Multidimensional Packing Problems
We solve an open problem in the literature by providing an online algorithm for multidimensional bin packing that uses only bounded space. To achieve this, we introduce a new technique for classifying the items to be packed. We show that our algorithm is optimal among bounded space algorithms for any dimension d > 1. Its asymptotic performance ratio is (Π∞) , where Π∞ ≈ 1.691 is the asymptotic ...
متن کاملComparing online algorithms for bin packing problems
The relative worst-order ratio is a measure of the quality of online algorithms. In contrast to the competitive ratio, this measure compares two online algorithms directly instead of using an intermediate comparison with an optimal offline algorithm. In this paper, we apply the relative worst-order ratio to online algorithms for several common variants of the bin packing problem. We mainly cons...
متن کاملHeuristics for Multidimensional Packing Problems
In this thesis we consider solution methods for packing problems. Packing problems occur in manydifferent situations both directly in the industry and as sub-problems of other problems. High-qualitysolutions for problems in the industrial sector may be able to reduce transportation and productioncosts significantly. For packing problems in general are given a set of items and one of...
متن کاملOnline algorithms with advice for bin packing and scheduling problems
We consider the setting of online computation with advice and study the bin packing problem and a number of scheduling problems. We show that it is possible, for any of these problems, to arbitrarily approach a competitive ratio of 1 with only a constant number of bits of advice per request. For the bin packing problem, we give an online algorithm with advice that is (1 + ε)competitive and uses...
متن کاملOnline Primal-Dual Algorithms for Covering and Packing Problems
We study a wide range of online covering and packing optimization problems. In an online covering problem a linear cost function is known in advance, but the linear constraints that define the feasible solution space are given one by one in an online fashion. In an online packing problem the profit function as well as the exact packing constraints are not fully known in advance. In each round a...
