  2. Bin packing problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_packing_problem

    If items can share space in arbitrary ways, the bin packing problem is hard to even approximate. However, if space sharing fits into a hierarchy, as is the case with memory sharing in virtual machines, the bin packing problem can be efficiently approximated. Another variant of bin packing of interest in practice is the so-called online bin ...

  3. List of NP-complete problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NP-complete_problems

    Variations on the Traveling salesman problem. The problem for graphs is NP-complete if the edge lengths are assumed integers. The problem for points on the plane is NP-complete with the discretized Euclidean metric and rectilinear metric. The problem is known to be NP-hard with the (non-discretized) Euclidean metric.

  4. Strong NP-completeness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_NP-completeness

    Thus the version of bin packing where the object and bin sizes are integers bounded by a polynomial remains NP-complete, while the corresponding version of the Knapsack problem can be solved in pseudo-polynomial time by dynamic programming. From a theoretical perspective any strongly NP-hard optimization problem with a polynomially bounded ...

  5. Next-fit-decreasing bin packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Next-fit-decreasing_bin_packing

    Its input is a list of items of different sizes. Its output is a packing - a partition of the items into bins of fixed capacity, such that the sum of sizes of items in each bin is at most the capacity. Ideally, we would like to use as few bins as possible, but minimizing the number of bins is an NP-hard problem.

  6. Bin covering problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bin_covering_problem

    This problem is a dual of the bin packing problem: in bin covering, the bin sizes are bounded from below and the goal is to maximize their number; in bin packing, the bin sizes are bounded from above and the goal is to minimize their number. [1] The problem is NP-hard, but there are various efficient approximation algorithms:

  7. First-fit-decreasing bin packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-fit-decreasing_bin...

    Its output is a packing - a partition of the items into bins of fixed capacity, such that the sum of sizes of items in each bin is at most the capacity. Ideally, we would like to use as few bins as possible, but minimizing the number of bins is an NP-hard problem, so we use an approximately-optimal heuristic.

  8. Best-fit bin packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best-fit_bin_packing

    Its input is a list of items of different sizes. Its output is a packing - a partition of the items into bins of fixed capacity, such that the sum of sizes of items in each bin is at most the capacity. Ideally, we would like to use as few bins as possible, but minimizing the number of bins is an NP-hard problem.
