Bin Packing via Discrepancy of Permutations

Abstract

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 Karmarkar-Karp algorithm transforms a fractional solution of a suitable LP relaxation for this problem into an integral solution that requires at most O (log n ) additional bins.
