Semi-online models for cardinality constrained bin packing
摘要
We study two semi-online models for bin packing and exhibit them on cardinality constrained bin packing with small values of k. In this variant of the bin packing problem, each bin can have at most k items whose total size does not exceed 1. For the semi-online model where the algorithm may use a reordering buffer, we show that even if a single item can be stored in the buffer at any point in time, the best possible asymptotic competitive ratio for the case
