TLDR
Low-order polynomial time algorithms for near-optimal solutions to the problem of bin packing are studied and linear-time approximations to these packing rules whose worst case behavior is as good as that of FIRST FIT under a large variety of restrictions on the input are presented.

Optimization and Approximation in Deterministic Sequencing and Scheduling: a Survey

TL;DR: In this article, the authors survey the state of the art with respect to optimization and approximation algorithms and interpret these in terms of computational complexity theory, and indicate some problems for future research and include a selective bibliography.

Some simplified NP-complete graph problems

TL;DR: This paper shows that a number of NP - complete problems remain NP -complete even when their domains are substantially restricted, and determines essentially the lowest possible upper bounds on node degree for which the problems remainNP -complete.

Worst-Case Performance Bounds for Simple One-Dimensional Packing Algorithms

TL;DR: This work examines the performance of a number of simple algorithms which obtain “good” placements and shows that neither the first-fit nor the best-fit algorithm will ever use more than $\frac{17}{10}L^ * + 2$ bins.

The NP-completeness column: An ongoing guide

TL;DR: This is the fourteenth edition of a quarterly column that provides continuing coverage of new developments in the theory of NP-completeness, and readers who have results they would like mentioned (NP-hardness, PSPACE- hardness, polynomialtime-solvability, etc.), or open problems they wouldlike publicized, should send them to David S. Johnson.

Bin packing can be solved within 1 + ε in linear time

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for any positive e, there exists an O(n)-time algorithmS such that, if S(L) denotes the number of bins used by S for L, thenS(L)/L*≦1+e for anyL provided L* is sufficiently large.

Reducibility Among Combinatorial Problems.

TL;DR: Throughout the 1960s I worked on combinatorial optimization problems including logic circuit design with Paul Roth and assembly line balancing and the traveling salesman problem with Mike Held, which made me aware of the importance of distinction between polynomial-time and superpolynomial-time solvability.

The complexity of theorem-proving procedures

TL;DR: It is shown that any recognition problem solved by a polynomial time-bounded nondeterministic Turing machine can be “reduced” to the problem of determining whether a given propositional formula is a tautology.

Approximation algorithms for combinatorial problems

TL;DR: For the problem of finding the maximum clique in a graph, no algorithm has been found for which the ratio does not grow at least as fast as n^@e, where n is the problem size and @e>0 depends on the algorithm.

An algorithm for the organization of information

TL;DR: The organization of information placed in the points of an automatic computer is discussed and the role of memory, storage and retrieval in this regard is discussed.
