This paper presents two novel genetic algorithms (GAs) for hard industrially relevant packing problems. The design of both algorithms is inspired by aspects of molecular genetics,...
Abstract. We obtain faster algorithms for problems such as rdimensional matching, r-set packing, graph packing, and graph edge packing when the size k of the solution is considered...

As Bin Packing is NP-hard already for k = 2 bins, it is unlikely to be solvable in polynomial time even if the number of bins is a fixed constant. However, if the sizes of the item...
