Online Bin Covering: Expectations vs. Guarantees
Bin covering is a dual version of classic bin packing. Thus, the goal is to cover as many bins as possible, where covering a bin means packing items of total size at least one in the bin. For online bin covering, competitive analysis fails to distinguish between most algorithms of interest; all “reasonable” algorithms have a competitive ratio of 1 2 . Thus, in order to get a better understandin...
متن کاملOn semi-online machine scheduling and generalized bin covering
In this thesis we study algorithms for scheduling problems. We investigate semi-online minimum makespan scheduling and generalized bin covering. In online minimum makespan scheduling we are given a set of m machines and n jobs, where each job Jt is specified by a processing time. The jobs arrive one by one and we have to assign them to the machines without any knowledge about future incoming jo...
متن کاملOnline LIB problems: Heuristics for Bin Covering and lower bounds for Bin Packing
We consider the NP Hard problems of online Bin Covering and Packing while requiring that larger (or longer, in the one dimensional case) items be placed at the bottom of the bins, below smaller (or shorter) items — we call such a version, the LIB version of problems. Bin sizes can be uniform or variable. We look at computational studies for both the Best Fit and Harmonic Fit algorithms for unif...
متن کاملSelfish bin covering
In this paper, we address the selfish bin covering problem, which is greatly related both to the bin covering problem, and to the weighted majority game. What we are mainly concerned with is howmuch the lack of central coordination harms social welfare. Besides the standard PoA and PoS, which are based on Nash equilibrium, we also take into account the strong Nash equilibrium, and several new e...
متن کاملHeuristic and exact algorithms for Generalized Bin Covering Problem
In this paper, we study the Generalized Bin Covering problem. For this problem an exact algorithm is introduced which can nd optimal solution for small scale instances. To nd a solution near optimal for large scale instances, a heuristic algorithm has been proposed. By computational experiments, the eciency of the heuristic algorithm is assessed.
