✦ Synopsis

In the classical two-dimensional bin packing problem one is asked to pack a set of rectangular items, without overlap and without any rotation, into the minimum number of identical square bins. We give an approximation algorithm with absolute worst-case ratio of 3.

We propose a new scheme for computing lower bounds for the non-oriented bin-packing problem when the bin is a square. It leads to bounds that theoretically dominate previous results. Computational experiments show that the bounds are tight. We also discuss the case where the bin is not a square.
