Abstract

In this paper, we consider a two-dimensional version of the on-line bin packing problem, in which each rectangular item that should be packed into unit square bins is "rotatable" by 90°. Two on-line algorithms for solving the problem are proposed. The second algorithm is an extension of the first algorithms, and the worst-case ratio of the second one is at least 2.25 and at most 2.565.
