A Robust APTAS for the Classical Bin Packing Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bin packing is a well studied problem which has many applications. In this paper we design a robust APTAS for the problem. The robust APTAS receives a single input item to be added to the packing at each step. It maintains an approximate solution throughout this process, by slightly adjusting the solution for each new item. At each step, the total size of items which may migrate between bins must be bounded by a constant factor times the size of the new item. We show that such a property cannot be maintained with respect to optimal solutions.

An APTAS for Generalized Cost Variable-Sized Bin Packing
Bin packing is a well known problem which has a large number of applications. Classical bin packing is a simple model where all bins are identical. In the bin packing problem with variable sized bins, we are given a supply of a variety of sizes. This latter model assumes, however, that the cost of a bin is always defined to be its exact size. In this paper we study the more general problem wher...
متن کاملExtending Two-Dimensional Bin Packing Problem: Consideration of Priority for Items
In this paper a two-dimensional non-oriented guillotine bin packing problem is studied when items have different priorities. Our objective is to maximize the total profit which is total revenues minus costs of used bins and wasted area. A genetic algorithm is developed to solve this problem where a new coding scheme is introduced. To evaluate the performance of the proposed GA, first an upper b...
متن کاملApproximation algorithms for orthogonal packing problems for hypercubes
Orthogonal packing problems are natural multidimensional generalizations of the classical bin packing problem and knapsack problem and occur in many different settings. The input consists of a set I = {r1, . . . , rn} of d-dimensional rectangular items ri = (ai,1, . . . , ai,d) and a space Q. The task is to pack the items in an orthogonal and non-overlapping manner without using rotations into ...
متن کاملBin Packing in Multiple Dimensions: Inapproximability Results and Approximation Schemes
We study the following packing problem: Given a collection of d-dimensional rectangles of specified sizes, pack them into the minimum number of unit cubes. We show that unlike the one-dimensional case, the two-dimensional packing problem cannot have an asymptotic polynomial time approximation scheme (APTAS), unless P = NP . On the positive side, we give an APTAS for the special case of packing ...
متن کاملA one-dimensional bin packing problem with shelf divisions
Given bins of size B, non-negative values d and ∆, and a list L of items, each item e ∈ L with size se and class ce, we define a shelf as a subset of items packed inside a bin with total items size at most ∆ such that all items in this shelf have the same class. Two subsequent shelves must be separated by a shelf division of size d. The size of a shelf is the total size of its items plus the si...
