Tight results for Next Fit and Worst Fit with resource augmentation
It is well known that the two simple algorithms for the classic bin packing problem, NF and WF both have an approximation ratio of 2. However, WF seems to be a more reasonable alg...

Propagating the Bin Packing Constraint Using Linear Programming
The state-of-the-art global constraint for bin packing is due to Shaw. We compare two linear continuous relaxations of the bin packing problem, based on the DP-flow and Arc-flow ...

On Bin Packing with Conflicts
Abstract. We consider the offline and online versions of a bin packing problem called bin packing with conflicts. Given a set of items V = {1, 2, . . . , n} with sizes s1, s2 . . ....

Bin Packing in Multiple Dimensions: Inapproximability Results and Approximation Schemes
We study the multidimensional generalization of the classical Bin Packing problem: Given a collection of d-dimensional rectangles of specified sizes, the goal is to pack them into ...

An Optimization Algorithm for the Ordered Open-End Bin-Packing Problem
The ordered open-end bin packing problem is a variant of the bin packing problem in which the items to be packed are sorted in a given order and the capacity of each bin can be ex...

Selfish Bin Packing
Following recent interest in the study of computer science problems in a game theoretic setting, we consider the well known bin packing problem where the items are controlled by se...

On Dynamic Bin Packing: An Improved Lower Bound and Resource Augmentation Analysis
We study the dynamic bin packing problem introduced by Coffman, Garey and Johnson. This problem is a generalization of the bin packing problem in which items may arrive and depart...

A genetic algorithm with exon shuffling crossover for hard bin packing problems
A novel evolutionary approach for the bin packing problem (BPP) is presented. A simple steady-state genetic algorithm is developed that produces results comparable to other approa...

Multi-dimensional Packing with Conflicts
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 co...
