چکیده

We consider a generalized one-dimensional bin packing model in which the cost of a bin is a nondecreasing concave function of the utilization of the bin. We show that for any given positive constant , there exists a polynomial-time approximation algorithmwith an asymptotic worst-case performance ratio of no more than 1 + .

Bin packing with general cost structures

Following the work of Anily et al., we consider a variant of bin packing, called BIN PACKING WITH GENERAL COST STRUCTURES (GCBP) and design an asymptotic fully polynomial time approximation scheme (AFPTAS) for this problem. In the classic bin packing problem, a set of one-dimensional items is to be assigned to subsets of total size at most 1, that is, to be packed into unit sized bins. However,...

The Train Delivery Problem - Vehicle Routing Meets Bin Packing

We consider the train delivery problem which is a generalization of the bin packing problem and is equivalent to a one dimensional version of the vehicle routing problem with unsplittable demands. The train delivery problem is strongly NP-Hard and does not admit an approximation ratio better than 3/2. We design two types of approximation schemes for the problem. We give an asymptotic polynomial...

Extending 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...

A Fast Asymptotic Approximation Scheme for Bin Packing with Rejection

“Bin packing with rejection” is the following problem: Given a list of items with associated sizes and rejection costs, find a packing into unit bins of a subset of the list such that the number of bins used plus the sum of rejection costs of unpacked items is minimized. We show that bin packing with rejection can be reduced to n multiple knapsack problems and, based on techniques for the multi...

An Asymptotic Fully Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme for Bin Covering

In the bin covering problem there is a group L=(a1; : : : ; an) of items with sizes s̃(ai)∈ (0; 1), and the goal is to 6nd a packing of the items into bins to maximize the number of bins that receive items of total size at least 1. This is a dual problem to the classical bin packing problem. In this paper we present the 6rst asymptotic fully polynomial-time approximation scheme for the problem. ...
