摘要: In this paper, we study two variants of the bin packing /covering problems called Maximum Resource Bin Packing (MRBP) and Lazy Covering (LBC) problems, present new approximation algorithms for each them. For offline MRBP problem, previous best known ratio is $\frac{6}{5}=1.2$, achieved by classical First-Fit-Increasing (FFI) algorithm [1]. give a FFI-type with an $\frac{80}{71}\approx 1.12676$. LBC it has been shown in [2] that First-Fit-Decreasing (FFD) achieves $\frac{71}{60}\approx 1.18333$. FFD-type $\frac{17}{15}\approx 1.13333$. Both are simple, run near linear time (i.e., O(n logn)), therefore practical.
