چکیده

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 by Chang, Hwang, and Park.

A 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 ...

Improved approximation bounds for Vector Bin Packing

Abstract In this paper we propose an improved approximation scheme for the Vector Bin Packing problem (VBP), based on the combination of (near-)optimal solution of the Linear Programming (LP) relaxation and a greedy (modified first-fit) heuristic. The Vector Bin Packing problem of higher dimension (d ≥ 2) is not known to have asymptotic polynomial-time approximation schemes (unless P = NP). Our...

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...

Improved Approximation for Vector Bin Packing

We study the d-dimensional vector bin packing problem, a well-studied generalization of bin packing arising in resource allocation and scheduling problems. Here we are given a set of d-dimensional vectors v1, . . . , vn in [0, 1] , and the goal is to pack them into the least number of bins so that for each bin B, the sum of the vectors in it is at most 1 in every dimension, i.e., || ∑ vi∈B vi||...
