چکیده

The main contribution of this paper is an optimal bounded space online algorithm for variable-sized multidimensional packing. In this problem, hyperboxes must be packed in ddimensional bins of various sizes, and the goal is to minimize the total volume of the used bins. We show that the method used can also be extended to deal with the problem of resource augmented multidimensional packing, where the online algorithm has larger bins than the offline algorithm that it is compared to. Finally, we give new lower bounds for unbounded space multidimensional bin packing of hypercubes.

Optimal Online Algorithms for Multidimensional Packing Problems

We solve an open problem in the literature by providing an online algorithm for multidimensional bin packing that uses only bounded space. To achieve this, we introduce a new technique for classifying the items to be packed. We show that our algorithm is optimal among bounded space algorithms for any dimension d > 1. Its asymptotic performance ratio is (Π∞) , where Π∞ ≈ 1.691 is the asymptotic ...

Wall Effect in 3D Simulation Of Same Sized Particles Packing

In this paper, the effects of container size on the porosity of random loose packing of mono size particles have been investigated using an Event Dynamics (ED) based model. Simultaneous effects of square container walls on particles packing and their order are also investigated. Our simulation results indicate higher container size will increase the total packing factor and high density regions...

Log-Normal and Mono-Sized Particles’ Packing into a Bounded Region

Many systems can be modeled with hard and various size spheres, therefore packing and geometrical structures of such sets are of great importance. In this paper, rigid spherical particles distributed in different sizes are randomly packed in confined spaces, using a parallel algorithm. Mersenne Twister algorithm was used to generate pseudorandom numbers for initial coordination of particles. Di...

A novel greedy quantum inspired cuckoo search algorithm for variable sized bin packing problem

Bin packing is a well-known NP-Hard optimization problem which has several real applications. Classical bin packing (BPP) is a simple model where all bins are identical. However, the variable sized bin packing problem (VSBPP) is a generalization of the bin packing problem where bins of different capacities are available for packing a set of items having different weights. The objective is to pa...

On Variable-Sized Bin Packing

In variable sized bin packing, a number of bin types are given and the goal is to pack a list of items by choosing appropriate bins such that the total size of bins used is minimized. In this paper, we present absolute worst-case analysis for on-line algorithms. Then we consider an related problem: how to design k different bin sizes such that for any item list the waste space of bins used is m...
