Abstract

Given a list of d-dimensional cuboid items with associated profits, the orthogonal knapsack problem asks for a packing of a selection with maximal profit into the unit cube. We restrict the items to hypercube shapes and derive a $(\frac{5}{4}+\epsilon)$-approximation for the two-dimensional case. In a second step we generalize our result to a $(\frac{2^d+1}{2^d}+\epsilon)$-approximation for d-dimensional packing.
