Improved approximation bounds for Vector Bin Packing

چکیده
Abstract In this paper we propose an improved approximation scheme for the Vector Bin Packing problem (VBP), based on the combination of (near-)optimal solution of the Linear Programming (LP) relaxation and a greedy (modified first-fit) heuristic. The Vector Bin Packing problem of higher dimension (d ≥ 2) is not known to have asymptotic polynomial-time approximation schemes (unless P = NP). Our algorithm improves over the previously-known guarantee of (ln d + 1 + ǫ) by Bansal et al. [1] for higher dimensions (d > 2). We provide a θ(1) approximation scheme for certain set of inputs for any dimension d. More precisely, we provide a 2-OPT algorithm, a result which is irrespective of the number of dimensions d.

Improved Approximation for Vector Bin Packing
We study the d-dimensional vector bin packing problem, a well-studied generalization of bin packing arising in resource allocation and scheduling problems. Here we are given a set of d-dimensional vectors v1, . . . , vn in [0, 1] , and the goal is to pack them into the least number of bins so that for each bin B, the sum of the vectors in it is at most 1 in every dimension, i.e., || ∑ vi∈B vi||...
متن کاملA Linear Approximation Algorithm for 2-Dimensional Vector Packing
We study the 2-dimensional vector packing problem, which is a generalization of the classical bin packing problem where each item has 2 distinct weights and each bin has 2 corresponding capacities. The goal is to group items into minimum number of bins, without violating the bin capacity constraints. We propose an Θ(n)-time approximation algorithm that is inspired by the O(n) algorithm proposed...

متن کاملApproaches to Bin Packing with Clique-Graph Conflicts
The problem of bin packing with arbitrary conflicts was introduced in [3]. In this paper, we consider a restricted problem, bin packing with clique-graph conflicts. We prove bounds for several approximation algorithms, and show that certain onand off-line algorithms are equivalent. Finally, we present an optimal polynomial-time algorithm for the case of constant item sizes, and analyze its perf...
متن کاملFirst Fit bin packing: A tight analysis
In the bin packing problem we are given an instance consisting of a sequence of items with sizes between 0 and 1. The objective is to pack these items into the smallest possible number of bins of unit size. FirstFit algorithm packs each item into the first bin where it fits, possibly opening a new bin if the item cannot fit into any currently open bin. In early seventies it was shown that the a...
