Batched bin packing

چکیده
We introduce and study the batched bin packing problem (BBPP), a bin packing problem in which items become available for packing incrementally, one batch at a time. A batched algorithm must pack a batch before the next batch becomes known. A batch may contain several items; the special case when each batch consists of merely one item is the well-studied on-line bin packing problem. We obtain lower bounds for the asymptotic competitive ratio of any algorithm for the BBPP with two batches. We believe that our main lower bound is optimal and provide some support to this conjecture. We suggest studying BBPP and other batched problems.

More on batched bin packing
Bin packing is the problem of partitioning a set of items into subsets of total sizes at most 1. In batched bin packing, items are presented in k batches, such that the items of a batch are presented as a set, to be packed before the next batch. In the disjunctive model, a algorithm must use separate bins for the different batches. We analyze the asymptotic and absolute approximation ratios for...
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 کاملA Parallel Genetic Algorithm for Three Dimensional Bin Packing with Heterogeneous Bins
This paper presents a parallel genetic algorithm for three dimensional bin packing with heterogeneous bins using Hadoop Map-Reduce framework. The most common three dimensional bin packing problem which packs given set of boxes into minimum number of equal sized bins is proven to be NP Hard. The variation of three dimensional bin packing problem that allows heterogeneous bin sizes and rotation o...
متن کاملColorful Bin Packing
We study a variant of online bin packing, called colorful bin packing. In this problem, items that are presented one by one are to be packed into bins of size 1. Each item i has a size si ∈ [0, 1] and a color ci ∈ C, where C is a set of colors (that is not necessarily known in advance). The total size of items packed into a bin cannot exceed its size, thus an item i can always be packed into a ...
متن کاملA Constraint for Bin Packing
We introduce a constraint for one-dimensional bin packing. This constraint uses propagation rules incorporating knapsack-based reasoning, as well as a lower bound on the number of bins needed. We show that this constraint can significantly reduce search on bin packing problems. We also demonstrate that when coupled with a standard bin packing search strategy, our constraint can be a competitive...
