This paper addresses the problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) of static lightpath requests in wavelength routed optical networks. The objective is to minimize the nu...
A novel evolutionary approach for the bin packing problem (BPP) is presented. A simple steady-state genetic algorithm is developed that produces results comparable to other approa...
A well studied special case of bin packing is the 3-partition problem, where n items of size > 1 4 have to be packed in a minimum number of bins of capacity one. The famous Kar...
It is well known that the two simple algorithms for the classic bin packing problem, NF and WF both have an approximation ratio of 2. However, WF seems to be a more reasonable alg...
Following recent interest in the study of computer science problems in a game theoretic setting, we consider the well known bin packing problem where the items are controlled by se...
