This work presents an original method, going beyond the limits of classical mathematical analysis, for solving extremal problems and provides an application of mathematical methods to questions of organizing production which merits the serious attention of workers in different branches of industry.
Abstract
The author of the work “Mathematical Methods of Organizing and Planning Production”, Professor L. V. Kantorovich, is an eminent authority in the field of mathematics. This work is interesting from a purely mathematical point of view since it presents an original method, going beyond the limits of classical mathematical analysis, for solving extremal problems. On the other hand, this work also provides an application of mathematical methods to questions of organizing production which merits the serious attention of workers in different branches of industry. This is the English translation of the famous 1939 article by L. V. Kantorovich, originally published in Russian.

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.
