Selfish Square Packing

We consider a game-theoretical bin packing problem. The 1D (one dimensional) case has been treated in the literature as the ʼselfish bin packing problemʼ. We investigate a 2D version, in which the items to be packed are squares and the bins are unit squares. In this game, a set of items is packed into bins. Each player controls exactly one item and is charged with a cost defined as the ratio between the area of the item and the occupied area of the respective bin. One at a time, players selfishly move their items from one bin to another, in order to minimize the costs they are charged. At a Nash equilibrium, no player can reduce the cost he is charged by moving his item to a different bin. In the 2D case, to decide whether an item can be placed in another bin with other items is NP-complete, so we consider that players use a packing algorithm to make this decision. We show that this game converges to a Nash equilibrium, independently of the packing algorithm used. We prove that the price of anarchy is at least 2.27. We also prove that, using the NFDH packing algorithm, the asymptotic price of anarchy is at most 2.6875.     

Bin packing with general cost structures

Following the work of Anily et?al., we consider a variant of bin packing called bin packing with general cost structures (GCBP) and design an asymptotic fully polynomial time approximation scheme (AFPTAS) for this problem. In the classic bin packing problem, a set of one-dimensional items is to be assigned to subsets of total size at most 1, that is, to be packed into unit sized bins. However, in GCBP, the cost of a bin is not 1 as in classic bin packing, but it is a non-decreasing and concave function of the number of items packed in it, where the cost of an empty bin is zero. The construction of the AFPTAS requires novel techniques for dealing with small items, which are developed in this work. In addition, we develop a fast approximation algorithm which acts identically for all non-decreasing and concave functions, and has an asymptotic approximation ratio of 1.5 for all functions simultaneously.     

Resource augmented semi-online bounded space bin packing

We study on-line bounded space bin-packing in the resource augmentation model of competitive analysis. In this model, the on-line bounded space packing algorithm has to pack a list L of items with sizes in (0, 1], into a minimum number of bins of size b, b≥1. A bounded space algorithm has the property that it only has a constant number of active bins available to accept items at any point during processing. The performance of the algorithm is measured by comparing the produced packing with an optimal offline packing of the list L into bins of size 1. The competitive ratio then becomes a function of the on-line bin size b. Csirik and Woeginger studied this problem in [J. Csirik, G.J. Woeginger, Resource augmentation for online bounded space bin packing, Journal of Algorithms 44(2) (2002) 308-320] and proved that no on-line bounded space algorithm can perform better than a certain bound ρ(b) in the worst case. We relax the on-line condition by allowing a complete repacking within the active bins, and show that the same lower bound holds for this problem as well, and repacking may only allow one to obtain the exact best possible competitive ratio of ρ(b) having a constant number of active bins, instead of achieving this bound in the limit. We design a polynomial time on-line algorithm that uses three active bins and achieves the exact best possible competitive ratio ρ(b) for the given problem.     

New lower bounds for the three-dimensional orthogonal bin packing problem

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 from a combinatorial point of view and demonstrate that they theoretically dominate all previous results from the literature. The comparison is also done concerning asymptotic worst-case performance ratios. The new lower bounds can be more efficiently computed in polynomial time. In addition, we study the non-oriented model, which allows items to be rotated.     

Resource augmentation for online bounded space bin packing

We study online bounded space bin packing in the resource augmentation model of competitive analysis. In this model, the online bounded space packing algorithm has to pack a list L of items in (0,1] into a small number of bins of size b1. Its performance is measured by comparing the produced packing against the optimal offline packing of the list L into bins of size 1.We present a complete solution to this problem: For every bin size b1, we design online bounded space bin packing algorithms whose worst case ratio in this model comes arbitrarily close to a certain bound ρ(b). Moreover, we prove that no online bounded space algorithm can perform better than ρ(b) in the worst case.     

On the effectiveness of the Harmonic Shelf Algorithm for on-line strip packing

In [J. Csirik, G.J. Woeginger, An on-line algorithm for multidimensional bin packing, Inform. Process. Lett. 63 (1997) 171-175] the authors study the asymptotic worst case ratio between the height of the strip needed to on-line pack a list of boxes by means of the Harmonic Shelf Algorithm and the height of the strip used by an optimal algorithm. In this note we analyze the effectiveness of the former algorithm in terms of the ratio between the unused area inside the strip and the total size of this strip, and we show that the Harmonic Shelf Algorithm is also capable of packing items so that the asymptotic worst case value of this ratio comes arbitrarily close to .     

On-line bin packing — A restricted survey

In the classical bin packing problem, one is asked to pack items of various sizes into the minimum number of equal-sized bins. In the on-line version of this problem, the packer is given the items one by one and must immediately and irrevocably assign every item to its bin, without knowing the future items. Beginning with the first results in the early 1970's, we survey — from the worst case point of view — the approximation results obtained for on-line bin packing, higher dimensional versions of the problem, lower bounds on worst case ratios and related results.This work was partially supported by the Christian Doppier Laboratorium für Diskrete Optimierung.     

A note on a variant of the online open end bin packing problem

We study the minimum variant of the online open end bin packing problem. Items are presented one by one, and an item can be packed into a bin while the resulting total size of items excluding the minimum size item of the bin will be below 1. We design an improved online algorithm whose asymptotic competitive ratio does not exceed 1.180952381, and we prove a new lower bound of 1.1666666 on the asymptotic competitive ratio of any online algorithm.     

A note on the minimum bounded edge-partition of a tree

Minimum bounded edge-partition divides the edge set of a tree into the minimum number of disjoint connected components given a maximum weight for any component. It is an adaptation of the uniform edge-partition of a tree. An optimization algorithm is developed for this NP-hard problem, based on repeated bin packing of inter-related instances. The algorithm has linear running time for the class of ‘balanced trees’ common for the stochastic programming application which motivated investigation of this problem.Fast 2-approximation algorithms are formed for general instances by replacing the optimal bin packing with almost any bin packing heuristic. The asymptotic worst-case ratio of these approximation algorithms is never better than the absolute worst-case ratio of the bin packing heuristic used.
