Linear time-approximation algorithms for bin packing

چکیده
Simchi-Levi (Naval Res. Logist. 41 (1994) 579–585) proved that the famous bin packing algorithms FF and BF have an absolute worst-case ratio of no more than 4 , and FFD and BFD have an absolute worst-case ratio of 3 2 , respectively. These algorithms run in time O(n log n). In this paper, we provide a linear time constant space (number of bins kept during the execution of the algorithm is constant) o -line approximation algorithms with absolute worst-case ratio 2 . This result is best possible unless P = NP. Furthermore, we present a linear time constant space on-line algorithm and prove that the absolute worst-case ratio is 4 . c © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

متن کاملA New Approximation Method for Set Covering Problems, with Applications to Multidimensional Bin Packing
In this paper we introduce a new general approximation method for set covering problems, based on the combination of randomized rounding of the (near-)optimal solution of the Linear Programming (LP) relaxation, leading to a partial integer solution, and the application of a wellbehaved approximation algorithm to complete this solution. If the value of the solution returned by the latter can be ...
