Abstract. 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 ...
We consider a one dimensional storage system where each container can store a bounded amount of capacity as well as a bounded number of items k ≥ 2. This defines the (standard)...
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...
Given a set of numbers, and a set of bins of fixed capacity, the NP-complete problem of bin packing is to find the minimum number of bins needed to contain the numbers, such that ...
Abstract. In order to verify and test the performance of new packing algorithms relative to existing algorithms, test problems are needed. The scope of published test instances for...
