The Relative Worst Order Ratio for On-Line Algorithms
[chapter]
2003
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Many of our results are consistent with those previously obtained with the competitive ratio or the competitive ratio on accommodating sequences, but new separations and easier proofs are found. ...
The new ratio is used to compare on-line algorithms directly by taking the ratio of their performances on their respective worst permutations of a worst-case sequence. ...
We would also like to thank the anonymous referees for useful comments, especially the referee who noted that the proof of Lemma 3.5 depended on Harmonic k using Next-Fit and asked about the possibility ...

On-Line Maximizing the Number of Items Packed in Variable-Sized Bins
[chapter]
2002
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We study an on-line bin packing problem. A xed number n of bins, possibly of di erent sizes, are given. The items arrive on-line, and the goal is to pack as many items as possible. ...
It is known that there exists a legal packing of the whole sequence in the n bins. We consider fair algorithms that reject an item, only if it does not t in the empty space of any bin. ...
Acknowledgment: We would like to thank Joan Boyar for reading and commenting on the paper. We also thank the editor Gerhard Woeginger for suggesting the title. ...

Online Bin Covering: Expectations vs. Guarantees
[article]
2014
arXiv
pre-print
We make the case that when guarantees are needed, even under restricted input sequences, dual Harmonic is preferable. ...
Bin covering is a dual version of classic bin packing. Thus, the goal is to cover as many bins as possible, where covering a bin means packing items of total size at least one in the bin. ...
Introduction Bin covering [2] is a dual version of classic bin packing. As usual, bins have size one and items with sizes between zero and one must be packed. ...

Beating the Harmonic lower bound for online bin packing
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
We show that for each input, a single weighting function can be constructed to upper bound the competitive ratio on it. ...
In this paper, we present an online bin packing algorithm with asymptotic competitive ratio of 1.5813. This is the first improvement in fifteen years and reduces the gap to the lower bound by 15%. ...

Lower bounds on the performance of online algorithms for relaxed packing problems
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
On the other hand, in the removable knapsack problem there is a fixed number of bins, and the goal of packing items, which consists in choosing a particular bin for every packed item (and nothing else) ...
We prove new lower bounds for suitable competitive ratio measures of two relaxed online packing problems: online removable multiple knapsack, and a recently introduced online minimum peak appointment scheduling ...
[9, 7] extended this to the sum of values of all the items packed, which is in line with dual bin packing. ...

Beating the Harmonic Lower Bound for Online Bin Packing

International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming
We consider the dual, eliminate all but one variable and then solve it with the ellipsoid method using a separation oracle. ...
In particular, for item pairs where the size of one item is in (1/3, 1/2] and the other is larger than 1/2 (a large item), when deciding whether to pack such a pair together in one bin, our algorithm does ...

Probabilistic Analysis of the Dual Next-Fit Algorithm for Bin Covering
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
We study the simplest possible online algorithm Dual Next-Fit, which packs all arriving items into the same bin until it is filled and then proceeds with the next bin in the same manner. ...
Finally, we prove that the expected competitive ratio equals, for a large class of distributions, the random-order ratio, which is the expected competitive ratio when adversarially chosen items arrive ...
Similarly we show that for proving a lower bound on the random order ratio of DNF it suffices to consider sequences of items that can be packed with waste zero. ...

Online Square Packing

"hang in the air") based on ideas of shelf-packing: Squares are assigned to different horizontal levels, allowing an analysis that is reminiscent of some bin-packing arguments. ...
We analyze the problem of packing squares in an online fashion: Given a semi-infinite strip of width 1 and an unknown sequence of squares of side length in [0,1] that arrive from above, one at a time. ...
Hence, all negative results for the bin packing problem, e.g., NP-hardness and lower bounds on the competitive ratio also hold for the strip packing problem; see [15] for a survey on (online) bin packing ...

We want algorithms with low asymptotic competitive ratio while repacking items sparingly between updates. ...
We study the classic Bin Packing problem in a fully-dynamic setting, where new items can arrive and old items may depart. ...
For any ε > 0 and 1 2 > δ > 0, for any algorithm A with a.c.r (α − ε) with additive term o(ε · n δ ), there exists an dynamic bin packing input with n items on which A uses recourse at least Ω(ε 2 · n ...
