An approximation algorithm for square packing
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the problem of packing squares into bins which are unit squares, where the goal is to minimize the number of bins used. We present an algorithm for this problem with an absolute worst-case ratio of 2, which is optimal provided P 6= NP.

Hardness of approximation for orthogonal rectangle packing and covering problems
Bansal and Sviridenko [4] proved that there is no asymptotic PTAS for 2-dimensional Orthogonal Bin Packing (without rotations), unless P = NP. We show that similar approximation hardness results hold for several 2and 3-dimensional rectangle packing and covering problems even if rotations by ninety degrees are allowed. Moreover, for some of these problems we provide explicit lower bounds on asym...

متن کاملAnchored Rectangle and Square Packings
For points p1, . . . , pn in the unit square [0, 1] , an anchored rectangle packing consists of interior-disjoint axis-aligned empty rectangles r1, . . . , rn ⊆ [0, 1] such that point pi is a corner of the rectangle ri (that is, ri is anchored at pi) for i = 1, . . . , n. We show that for every set of n points in [0, 1], there is an anchored rectangle packing of area at least 7/12 − O(1/n), and...
متن کاملApproximation algorithms for orthogonal packing problems for hypercubes
Orthogonal packing problems are natural multidimensional generalizations of the classical bin packing problem and knapsack problem and occur in many different settings. The input consists of a set I = {r1, . . . , rn} of d-dimensional rectangular items ri = (ai,1, . . . , ai,d) and a space Q. The task is to pack the items in an orthogonal and non-overlapping manner without using rotations into ...
متن کاملImproved Approximation Algorithm for Two-Dimensional Bin Packing
We study the two-dimensional bin packing problem with and without rotations. Here we are given a set of two-dimensional rectangular items I and the goal is to pack these into a minimum number of unit square bins. We consider the orthogonal packing case where the edges of the items must be aligned parallel to the edges of the bin. Our main result is a 1.405approximation for two-dimensional bin p...
