An O(n) bin-packing algorithm for uniformly distributed data

From MaRDI portal





We introduce a new on-line algorithm for the classical bin-packing problem. The algorithm opens a bounded number of empty bins at a time. Supposing that the sizes of the elements are uniformly distributed on the interval (0,1], we can decide the number of simultaneously opened bins. We analyse this algorithm from probabilistic point of view. Our main result is that the expected waste of this algorithm is \(O(n^{2/3})\).
