A set of items has to be assigned to a set of bins with size one. If necessary, the size of the bins can be extended. The objective is to minimize the total size, i.e., the sum of the sizes of the bins. The Longest Processing Time heuristic is applied to this NP-hard problem. For this approximation
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.
