In addition, the not-so-common, but analytically superior (in terms of worst-case behavior), 'ModifiedFirstFit' heuristic is also supported. Further, the (slow) 'SumOfSquaresFit' heuristic, which has been considered in the context of online bin-packing (Bender et al., 2008), is also supported. Items can be packed in order of both 'Decreasing' and 'Increasing' size (and, of course, in unmodified order; see 'AsGiven'). The module supports both the standard (textbook) minimization problem (/"How many bins do I need to pack all items?"/; see 'minimizeBins' and 'countBins') and the more practical fitting problem (/"I've got n bins; which items can I take?"/; see 'binpack'). The well-known heuristics are described online in many places and are not further discussed here. For example, see for an overview. A description of the 'ModifiedFirstFit' algorithm is harder to come by online, hence a brief description and references are provided below. Note that most published analysis assumes items to be sorted in some specific (mostly 'Decreasing') order. This module does not enforce such assumptions, rather, any ordering can be combined with any placement heuristic. If unsure what to pick, then try 'FirstFit' 'Decreasing' or 'BestFit' 'Decreasing' as a default. Use 'WorstFit' 'Decreasing' (in combination with 'binpack') if you want a pre-determined number of bins filled evenly. A short overview of the 'ModifiedFirstFit' heuristic follows. This overview is based on the description given in (Yue and Zhang, 1995). Let @lst@ denote the list of items to be bin-packed, let @x@ denote the size of the smallest element in @lst@, and let @cap@ denote the capacity of one bin. @lst@ is split into the four sub-lists, @lA@, @lB@, @lC@, @lD@. [@lA@] All items strictly larger than @cap\/2@. [@lB@] All items of size at most @cap\/2@ and strictly larger than @cap\/3@. [@lC@] All items of size at most @cap\/3@ and strictly larger than @(cap - x)\/5@. [@lD@] The rest, /i.e./, all items of size at most @(cap - x)\/5@. Items are placed as follows: (1) Create a list of @length lA@ bins. Place each item in @lA@ into its own bin (while maintaining relative item order with respect to @lst@). Note: relevant published analysis assumes that @lst@ is sorted in order of 'decreasing' size. (2) Take the list of bins created in Step 1 and reverse it. (3) Sequentially consider each bin @b@. If the two smallest items in @lC@ do NOT fit together into @b@ of if there a less than two items remaining in @lC@, then pack nothing into @b@ and move on to the next bin (if any). If they do fit together, then find the largest item @x1@ in @lC@ that would fit together with the smallest item in @lC@ into @b@. Remove @x1@ from @lC@. Then find the largest item @x2@, @x2 \\= x1@, in @lC@ that will now fit into @b@ /together/ with @x1@. Remove @x1@ from @lC@. Place both @x1@ and @x2@ into @b@ and move on to the next item. (4) Reverse the list of bins again. (5) Use the 'FirstFit' heuristic to place all remaining items, /i.e./, @lB@, @lD@, and any remaining items of @lC@. References: * D.S. Johnson and M.R.
