چکیده

Recently Bansal and Sviridenko [4] proved that there is no asymptotic PTAS for 2-dimensional Orthogonal Rectangle Bin Packing without rotations allowed, unless P = NP. We show that similar approximation hardness results hold for several rectangle packing problems even if rotations by ninety degrees around the axes are allowed. Moreover, for some of these problems we provide explicit lower bounds on asymptotic approximation ratio of any polynomial time approximation algorithm.

Hardness of approximation for orthogonal rectangle packing and covering problems

Bansal and Sviridenko [4] proved that there is no asymptotic PTAS for 2-dimensional Orthogonal Bin Packing (without rotations), unless P = NP. We show that similar approximation hardness results hold for several 2and 3-dimensional rectangle packing and covering problems even if rotations by ninety degrees are allowed. Moreover, for some of these problems we provide explicit lower bounds on asym...

On Approximating Four Covering/Packing Problems With Applications to Bioinformatics

In this paper, we consider approximability of four covering/packing type problems which have important applications in computational biology. The problems considered in this paper are the triangle packing problem, the full sibling reconstruction problem under two parsimonious assumptions, the maximum profit coverage problem and the 2-coverage problem. We provide approximation algorithms and ina...

On Continuity Properties for Infinite Rectangle Packing

By rectangle packing we mean putting a set of rectangles into an enclosing rectangle, without any overlapping. We begin with perfect rectangle packing problems, then prove two continuity properties for parallel rectangle packing problems, and discuss how they might be used to obtain negative results for perfect rectangle packing problems.

New Approximability Results for 2-Dimensional Packing Problems

The strip packing problem is to pack a set of rectangles into a strip of fixed width and minimum length. We present asymptotic polynomial time approximation schemes for this problem without and with 90o rotations. The additive constant in the approximation ratios of both algorithms is 1, improving on the additive term in the approximation ratios of the algorithm by Kenyon and Rémila (for the pr...
