The Overflowing Bin Packing Problem: Theoretical Results and a New Flow Formulation

We consider a recently proposed one-dimensional packing problem, called the overflowing bin packing problem (OBPP). In this scenario, we are given a set of items (of known sizes) and a set of bins (of known capacities). Roughly speaking, the task is to assign the items to the bins in such a way that the total … Read more
