A note on the Kenyon-Remila strip-packing algorithm

چکیده

We show that a modification of the Kenyon-Remila algorithm for the strip-packing problem yields an improved bound on the value of the approximate solution. As a corollary we derive that there exists a polynomial-time algorithm that always finds a solution of value OPT +O( √ OPT logOPT ) where OPT is the optimal value.

Approximate Strip Packing - Foundations of Computer Science, 1996. Proceedings., 37th Annual Symposium on

We present an qpproximation scheme for strip-packing, or packing rectangles into a rectangle of fixed width and minimum height, a classical NP-hard cutting-stock problem. The algorithm find,!; a packing of n rectangles whose total height is within a ,factor of (1 + E ) of optimal, and has running time polynomial both in n and in 1 / E . It is based on a reduction to fractional bin-packing, and ...

A new metaheuristic genetic-based placement algorithm for 2D strip packing

Given a container of fixed width, infinite height and a set of rectangular block, the 2D-strip packing problem consists of orthogonally placing all the rectangles such that the height is minimized. The position is subject to confinement of no overlapping of blocks. The problem is a complex NP-hard combinatorial optimization, thus a heuristic based on genetic algorithm is proposed to solve it. I...

A Comparative Study of Exact Algorithms for the Two Dimensional Strip Packing Problem

In this paper we consider a two dimensional strip packing problem. The problem consists of packing a set of rectangular items in one strip of width W and infinite height. They must be packed without overlapping, parallel to the edge of the strip and we assume that the items are oriented, i.e. they cannot be rotated. To solve this problem, we use three exact methods: a branch and bound method, a...

A Harmonic Algorithm for the 3D Strip Packing Problem

In the three dimensional strip packing problem, we are given a set of three dimensional rectangular items and a three dimensional box B. The goal is to pack all the items in B such that the height of the packing is minimized. We consider the most basic version of the problem, where the items must be packed with their edges parallel to the edges of B and cannot be rotated. Building upon Caprara’...

A note on the lower bound for online strip packing

This note presents a lower bound of 3/2+ √ 33/6 ≈ 2.457 on the competitive ratio for online strip packing. The instance construction we use to obtain the lower bound was first coined by Brown, Baker and Katseff [2]. Recently this instance construction is used to improve the lower bound in computer aided proofs. We derive the best possible lower bound that can be obtained with this instance cons...
