Abstract:

We prove that Best Fit bin packing has linear waste on the discrete distribution Ufj; kg (where items are drawn uniformly from the set f1=k; 2=3; \Delta \Delta \Delta; j=kg) for sufficiently large k when j = ffk and 0:66 ff! 2=3. Our results extend to continuous skewed distributions, where items are drawn uniformly on [0; a], for 0:66 a! 2=3. This implies that the expected asymptotic performance ratio of Best
