چکیده
Since the Bin Packing Problem (BPP) is one of the main NP-hard problems, a lot of approximation algorithms have been suggested for it. It has been proven that the best algorithm for BPP has the approximation ratio of and the time order of ( ), unless = . In the current paper, a linear approximation algorithm is presented. The suggested algorithm not only has the best possible theoretical factors, approximation ratio, space order, and time order, but also outperforms the other approximation algorithms according to the experimental results; therefore, we are able to draw the conclusion that the algorithms is the best approximation algorithm which has been presented for the problem until now.

Bin Packing Problem: A Linear Constant-Space 3/2-Approximation Algorithm
Since the Bin Packing Problem (BPP) is one of the main NP-hard problems, a lot of approximation algorithms have been suggested for it. It has been proven that the best algorithm for BPP has the approximation ratio of 3 2 and the time order of O(n), unless P = NP. In the current paper, a linear 3 2 -approximation algorithm is presented. The suggested algorithm not only has the best possible theo...
متن کاملLinear time-approximation algorithms for bin packing
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 const...

The bin packing problem is to find the minimum number of bins of size one to pack a list of items with sizes a1, . . . , an in (0, 1]. Using uniform sampling, which selects a random element from the input list each time, we develop a randomized O( n)(log log n) ∑n i=1 ai +( 1 2 ) 1 2 ) time (1+2)approximation scheme for the bin packing problem. We show that every randomized algorithm with unifo...
متن کاملExtending 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...
متن کاملA Linear Approximation Algorithm for 2-Dimensional Vector Packing
We study the 2-dimensional vector packing problem, which is a generalization of the classical bin packing problem where each item has 2 distinct weights and each bin has 2 corresponding capacities. The goal is to group items into minimum number of bins, without violating the bin capacity constraints. We propose an Θ(n)-time approximation algorithm that is inspired by the O(n) algorithm proposed...
