Erich's Packing Center; www.packomania.com A site with tables, graphs, calculators, references, etc. "Box Packing" by Ed Pegg, Jr., the Wolfram Demonstrations Project, 2007.
First-fit (FF) is an online algorithm for bin packing. Its input is a list of items of different sizes. Its output is a packing - a partition of the items into bins of fixed capacity, such that the sum of sizes of items in each bin is at most the capacity. Ideally, we would like to use as few bins as possible, but minimizing the number of bins ...
Circle packing in a square is a packing problem in recreational mathematics where the aim is to pack n unit circles into the smallest possible square. Equivalently, the problem is to arrange n points in a unit square in order to maximize the minimal separation, d n , between points. [ 1 ]
Many techniques from bin packing are used in this problem too. [52] In the guillotine cutting problem, both the items and the "bins" are two-dimensional rectangles rather than one-dimensional numbers, and the items have to be cut from the bin using end-to-end cuts. In the selfish bin packing problem, each item is a player who wants to minimize ...
This additional constraint on the packing, together with the need to minimize the Coulomb energy of interacting charges leads to a diversity of optimal packing arrangements. The upper bound for the density of a strictly jammed sphere packing with any set of radii is 1 – an example of such a packing of spheres is the Apollonian sphere packing.
Next-fit is an online algorithm for bin packing. Its input is a list of items of different sizes. Its output is a packing - a partition of the items into bins of fixed capacity, such that the sum of sizes of items in each bin is at most the capacity. Ideally, we would like to use as few bins as possible, but minimizing the number of bins is an ...
Square packing in a square is the problem of determining the maximum number of unit squares (squares of side length one) that can be packed inside a larger square of side length . If a {\displaystyle a} is an integer , the answer is a 2 , {\displaystyle a^{2},} but the precise – or even asymptotic – amount of unfilled space for an arbitrary ...
First-fit-decreasing (FFD) is an algorithm for bin packing. Its input is a list of items of different sizes. Its input is a list of items of different sizes. Its output is a packing - a partition of the items into bins of fixed capacity, such that the sum of sizes of items in each bin is at most the capacity.
