Multi-dimensional Packing with Conflicts

چکیده
We study the multi-dimensional version of the bin packing problem with conflicts. We are given a set of squares V = {1, 2, . . . , n} with sides s1, s2, . . . , sn ∈ [0, 1] and a conflict graph G = (V, E). We seek to find a partition of the items into independent sets of G, where each independent set can be packed into a unit square bin, such that no two squares packed together in one bin overlap. The goal is to minimize the number of independent sets in the partition. This problem generalizes the square packing problem (in which we have E = ∅) and the graph coloring problem (in which si = 0 for all i = 1, 2, . . . , n). It is well known that coloring problems on general graphs are hard to approximate. Following previous work on the one-dimensional problem, we study the problem on specific graph classes, namely, bipartite graphs and perfect graphs. We design a 2 + ε-approximation for bipartite graphs, which is almost best possible (unless P = NP ). For perfect graphs, we design a 3.2744approximation.

Heuristics for Solving the Bin-Packing Problem with Conflicts
This paper deals to solve the one dimensional bin-packing problem with conflicts. The conflicts are represented by a graph whose nodes are the items, and adjacent items cannot be packed into the same bin. We propose an adaptation of Minimum Bin Slack heuristic also with a combination of heuristics based on the uses of the classical bin-packing methods to packing items of maximal-stable-subsets ...
متن کاملA new lower bound for bin-packing problem with general conflicts graph
We propose a new lower bound for the one dimensional bin-packing problem with conflicts. The conflicts are represented by a graph whose nodes are the items, and adjacent items cannot be packed into the same bin. The lower bound is based on an iterative search of maximal cliques in the conflict graph using Johnson's heuristic. At each step we delete from the graph the items of the last clique fo...
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 کاملMulti-Dimensional Packing by Tabu Search
The paper deals with multi-dimensional cutting and packing and metaheuristic algorithms. A brief overview of this area is presented, and the general Tabu Search framework of Lodi, Martello and Vigo [LMV99a] is considered in detail. Computational results on multi-dimensional bin packing problems are reported, and possible methods for extending the framework to other packing problems are finally ...
