Abstract: We study the average case performance of the Best Fit algorithm for on-line bin packing under the distribution Ufj; kg, in which the item sizes are uniformly distributed in the discrete range f1=k; 2=k; : : :; j=kg. Our main result is that, in the case j = k \Gamma 2, the expected waste for an infinite stream of items remains bounded. This settles an open problem posed recently by Coffman et al [4]. It is also the first result which involves a detailed analysis of the infinite... (Update)
