Abstract This project aims to study and develop algorithms for packing problems. A classic example is the bin packing problem, for which the input is a list of items (each one with a size) and we want to pack them in the smallest number of bins (where the bins have a maximum size). Several of the simplest variations of packing problems belong to the class of NP-hard problems. In this project, we are interested in investigating variations of packing problems in one or two dimensions, which present restrictions of unloading or conflicts over the items of the input. For example, we can consider conflict restrictions when some items cannot be packed in the same bin or unloading restrictions when some packing order must be considered. Our goal is the theoretical study of some of these problems, with the development of algorithms for their open cases, emphasizing the study of approximation algorithms. (AU) | |
