An Asymptotic Competitive Scheme for Online Bin Packing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the online bin packing problem, in which a list of items with integral size between 1 to B arrives one at a time. Each item must be assigned in a bin of capacity B upon its arrival without any information on the next items, and the goal is to minimize the number of used bins. We present an asymptotic competitive scheme, i.e., for any > 0, the asymptotic competitive ratio is at most ρ∗ + , where ρ∗ is the smallest possible asymptotic competitive ratio among all online

Online Bin Packing with Cardinality Constraints Resolved
Cardinality constrained bin packing or bin packing with cardinality constraints is a basic bin packing problem. In the online version with the parameter k ≥ 2, items having sizes in (0, 1] associated with them are presented one by one to be packed into unit capacity bins, such that the capacities of bins are not exceeded, and no bin receives more than k items. We resolve the online problem in t...
متن کاملBin packing with controllable item sizes
We consider a natural resource allocation problem in which we are given a set of items, where each item has a list of pairs associated with it. Each pair is a configuration of an allowed size for this item, together with a nonnegative penalty, and an item can be packed using any configuration in its list. The goal is to select a configuration for each item so that the number of unit bins needed...
متن کاملBounds for online bin packing with cardinality constraints
We study a bin packing problem in which a bin can contain at most k items of total size at most 1, where k ≥ 2 is a given parameter. Items are presented one by one in an online fashion. We analyze the best absolute competitive ratio of the problem and prove tight bounds of 2 for any k ≥ 4. Additionally, we present bounds for relatively small values of k with respect to the asymptotic competitiv...
متن کاملStrip Packing vs. Bin Packing
In this paper we establish a general algorithmic framework between bin packing and strip packing, with which we achieve the same asymptotic bounds by applying bin packing algorithms to strip packing. More precisely we obtain the following results: (1) Any offline bin packing algorithm can be applied to strip packing maintaining the same asymptotic worst-case ratio. Thus using FFD (MFFD) as a su...
متن کاملLower bounds for several online variants of bin packing
We consider several previously studied online variants of bin packing and prove new and improved lower bounds on the asymptotic competitive ratios for them. For that, we use a method of fully adaptive constructions. In particular, we improve the lower bound for the asymptotic competitive ratio of online square packing significantly, raising it from roughly 1.68 to above 1.75.
