Extending 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...

Performance Estimations of First Fit Algorithm for Online Bin Packing with Variable Bin Sizes and LIB constraints

We consider the NP Hard problem of online Bin Packing while requiring that larger (or longer) items be placed below smaller (or shorter) items — we call such a version the LIB version of problems. Bin sizes can be uniform or variable. We provide analytical upper bounds as well as computational results on the asymptotic approximation ratio for the first fit algorithm.

A Tighter Lower Bound for Optimal Bin Packing

In this paper, we present an O(n1ogn) algorithm to compute a tighter lower bound for the one-dimensional bin packing problem. We have simulated the algorithm on randomly generated bin packing problems with item sizes drawn uniformly from (a, b], where 0 5 a < b 5 B and B is bin size. Using our lower bound, the average error of BFD is less than 2%. For a + b > B, the error is less than 0.003%. K...

An Alternative Heuristics for Bin Packing Problem

This study describes an alternative development of metaheuristic approaches to automate a one dimensional problem. Extensive computational testing is done to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed heuristic, a Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS)-based algorithm. Several heuristics algorithms that have been used for solving the bin packing problem, Exact algorithm, Random Algorithm, First...

Online Bandwidth packing with symmetric distribution

We consider the following stochastic bin packing process: the items arrive continuously over time to a server and are packed into bins of unit size according to an online algorithm. The unpacked items form a queue. The items have random sizes with symmetric distribution. Our first contribution identifies some monotonicity properties of the queueing system that allow to derive bounds on the queu...
