چکیده

In this paper, we consider the three-dimensional orthogonal bin packing problem, which is a generalization of the well-known bin packing problem. We present new lower bounds for the problem and demonstrate that they improve the best previous results. The asymptotic worst-case performance ratio of the lower bounds is also proved. In addition, we study the non-oriented model, which allows items to be rotated.

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...

The two-dimensional finite bin packing problem. Part I: New lower bounds for the oriented case

The Two-Dimensional Finite Bin Packing Problem (2BP) consists of determining the minimum number of large identical rectangles, bins, that are required for allocatingwithout overlapping a given set of rectangular items. The items are allocated into a bin with their edges always parallel or orthogonal to the bin edges. The problem is strongly NP-hard and finds many practical applications. In this...

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...

Constructive algorithms and lower bounds for guillotine cuttable orthogonal bin packing problems

The d-dimensional bin packing problem (OBPP-d) is the problem of finding the minimum number of containers needed to contain a set of orthogonally packed d-dimensional rectangular boxes. In OBPP-d solvers two subproblems are crucial: Calculating lower bounds and solving the decision problem (OPP-d) of determining if a set of boxes can be orthogonally packed into a single container. This thesis f...

Three-dimensional packings with rotations

We present approximation algorithms for the three-dimensional strip packing problem, and the three-dimensional bin packing problem. We consider orthogonal packings where ninety-degree rotations are allowed. The algorithms we show for these problems have asymptotic performance bounds 2.64, and 4.89, respectively. These algorithms are for the more general case in which the bounded dimensions of t...
