We present a new generalization of the extensible bin packing with unequal bin sizes problem. In our generalization the cost of exceeding the bin size depends on the index of the bin and not only on the amount in which the size of the bin…

The set of 2-dimensional packing problems builds an important class of optimization problems and Strip Packing together with 2-dimensional Bin Packing and 2-dimensional Knapsack is one of the most famous of these problems. Given a set of…

We consider the problem of packing rectangles into bins that are unit squares, where the goal is to minimize the number of bins used. All rectangles have to be packed non-overlapping and orthogonal, i.e., axis-parallel. We present an…

We study the online bin packing problem under two stochastic settings. In the bin packing problem, we are given n items with sizes in (0,1] and the goal is to pack them into the minimum number of unit-sized bins. First, we study bin packing…

The Two-dimensional Bin Packing Problem calls for packing a set of rectangular items into a minimal set of larger rectangular bins. Items must be packed with their edges parallel to the borders of the bins, cannot be rotated and cannot…

Strip packing is a classical packing problem, where the goal is to pack a set of rectangular objects into a strip of a given width, while minimizing the total height of the packing. The problem has multiple applications, e.g. in scheduling…

We study parameterized and approximation algorithms for a variant of Set Cover, where the universe of elements to be covered consists of points in the plane and the sets with which the points should be covered are segments. We call this…

Weighted geometric set-cover problems arise naturally in several geometric and non-geometric settings (e.g. the breakthrough of Bansal-Pruhs (FOCS 2010) reduces a wide class of machine scheduling problems to weighted geometric set-cover).…

In the (1-dimensional) bin packing problem, we are asked to pack all the given items into bins, each of capacity one, so that the number of non-empty bins is minimized. Zhu~[Chaos, Solitons \& Fractals 2016] proposed an approximation…

We give a comprehensive study of bin packing with conflicts (BPC). The input is a set $I$ of items, sizes $s:I \rightarrow [0,1]$, and a conflict graph $G = (I,E)$. The goal is to find a partition of $I$ into a minimum number of independent…

We study the following variant of the classic {\em bin packing} problem. Given a set of items of various sizes, partitioned into groups, find a packing of the items in a minimum number of identical (unit-size) bins, such that no two items…

This paper studies the computational complexity of the Edge Packing problem and the Vertex Packing problem. The edge packing problem (denoted by $\bar{EDS}$) and the vertex packing problem (denoted by $\bar{DS} $) are linear programming…

We consider the following generalization of the bin packing problem. We are given a set of items each of which is associated with a rational size in the interval [0,1], and a monotone non-decreasing non-negative cost function f defined over…

This paper presents theoretical and practical results for the bin packing problem with scenarios, a generalization of the classical bin packing problem which considers the presence of uncertain scenarios, of which only one is realized. For…

We study the $d$-dimensional knapsack problem. We are given a set of items, each with a $d$-dimensional cost vector and a profit, along with a $d$-dimensional budget vector. The goal is to select a set of items that do not exceed the budget…

We refine the bound on the packing number, originally shown by Haussler, for shallow geometric set systems. Specifically, let $\V$ be a finite set system defined over an $n$-point set $X$; we view $\V$ as a set of indicator vectors over the…

We present new approximation schemes for bin packing based on the following two approaches: (1) partitioning the given problem into mostly identical sub-problems of constant size and then construct a solution by combining the solutions of…

We consider the online two-dimensional vector packing problem, showing a lower bound of $11/5$ on the competitive ratio of any {\sc AnyFit} strategy for the problem. We provide strategies with competitive ratio…

Optimal packing of objects in containers is a critical problem in various real-life and industrial applications. This paper investigates the two-dimensional packing of convex polygons without rotations, where only translations are allowed.…

We consider a variant of the classical Bin Packing Problem, called Fully Dynamic Bin Packing. In this variant, items of a size in $(0,1]$ must be packed in bins of unit size. In each time step, an item either arrives or departs from the…
