510.6401 Design and Analysis of Algorithms January 21‚ 2008 Problem Set 1 Due: February 4‚ 2008. 1. In the bin packing problem‚ the input consists of a sequence of items I = {1‚ . . . ‚ n} where each item i has a size‚ which is a real number 0 ≤ ai ≤ 1. The goal is to “pack” the items in the smallest possible number of bins of unit size. Formally‚ the items should be partitioned in disjoint subsets (bins)‚ such that the total size in each bin is at most 1. The first fit heuristic scans the items
