We consider variants of the classic bin packing and multiple knapsack problems, in which sets of items of di erent classes (colours) need to be placed in bins; the items may have di erent sizes and values. Each bin has a limited capacity, and a bound on the number of distinct classes of items it can

We discuss what we consider to be the 10 most vexing open questions in the area of polynomial time approximation algorithms for NP-hard deterministic machine scheduling problems. We summarize what is known on these problems, we discuss related results, and we provide pointers to the literature. Copy
We present a unified framework for designing polynomial time approximation schemes (PTASs) for ``dense'' instances of many NP-hard optimization problems, including maximum cut, graph bisection, graph separation, minimum k-way cut with and without specified terminals, and maximum 3-satisfiability.

This paper may be viewed as a corrigendum as well as an extension of the paper by (Czumaj et al., Theoret. Comput. Sci. 262 (1-2), ( 2001) 569-582) where they deal with the variable length scheduling problem (VLSP) with parameters k1; k2, denoted VLSP(k1; k2). In the current paper, we ΓΏrst discuss a
