带填充问题的改进伪多项式时间逼近

Improved Pseudo-Polynomial-Time Approximation for Strip Packing

Waldo Gálvez, Fabrizio Grandoni, Salvatore Ingala, Arindam Khan

摘要:

我们研究了带包装问题,一个经典的包装问题,推广了装箱和最大完工时间最小化。在这里,我们给出了一组轴平行的矩形在二维平面和目标是包装他们在一个固定宽度的垂直带,使所获得的包装的高度最小化。包装必须不重叠,矩形不能旋转。从划分问题的简化表明,在多项式时间内,对于条带填充,没有比3/2更好的近似是可能的(假设P $\neq$ NP)。Nadiradze和Wiese [SODA 16]通过提出伪多项式时间(PPT)中的$(\frac{7}{5}+ε)$ -近似算法克服了这一障碍。由于该问题是强NP-难的,不允许有精确的PPT算法。本文进一步研究了条形排样的PPT逼近问题,提出了一种$(\frac43+ε)$ -近似算法。我们的结果基于Nadiradze和Wiese的构造所留下的\emph{empty space}中的一些矩形的非平凡重新包装,并且在某种意义上将他们的方法推向了极限。我们的PPT算法可以适应的情况下,我们被允许旋转矩形$90^\circ$,实现相同的近似因子和打破多项式时间的近似障碍3/2的情况下,旋转。

英文摘要:

We study the strip packing problem, a classical packing problem which generalizes both bin packing and makespan minimization. Here we are given a set of axis-parallel rectangles in the two-dimensional plane and the goal is to pack them in a vertical strip of a fixed width such that the height of the obtained packing is minimized. The packing must be non-overlapping and the rectangles cannot be rotated. A reduction from the partition problem shows that no approximation better than 3/2 is possible for strip packing in polynomial time (assuming P$\neq$NP). Nadiradze and Wiese [SODA16] overcame this barrier by presenting a $(\frac{7}{5}+ε)$-approximation algorithm in pseudo-polynomial-time (PPT). As the problem is strongly NP-hard, it does not admit an exact PPT algorithm. In this paper, we make further progress on the PPT approximability of strip packing, by presenting a $(\frac43+ε)$-approximation algorithm. Our result is based on a non-trivial repacking of some rectangles in the \emph{empty space} left by the construction by Nadiradze and Wiese, and in some sense pushes their approach to its limit. Our PPT algorithm can be adapted to the case where we are allowed to rotate the rectangles by $90^\circ$, achieving the same approximation factor and breaking the polynomial-time approximation barrier of 3/2 for the case with rotations as well.
