@article{ AhSO13, author = "Ahlroth, Lauri and Schumacher, Andr{\'e} and Orponen, Pekka", abstract = "We consider online bin packing where in addition to the \emph{opening cost} of each bin, the arriving items collect \emph{delay costs} until their assigned bins are released (closed), and the open bins themselves collect \emph{holding costs}. Besides being of practical interest, this problem generalises several previously unrelated online optimisation problems. We provide a general online algorithm for this problem with competitive ratio 7, with improvements for the special cases of zero delay or holding costs and size-proportional item delay costs.", number = "1", month = "January", il = "no", year = "2013", keywords = "competitive analysis, online algorithm, bin packing, rent-to-buy", juforank = "2", title = "Online bin packing with delay and holding costs", note = "", unitcode = "T306-99, T312-1", impactfactor = "A1", journal = "Operations Research Letters", responsibleauthor = "Ahlroth, Lauri and Schumacher, Andr{\'e} and Orponen, Pekka", kay = "NA", pages = "1 - 6", volume = "41", doi = "10.1016/j.orl.2012.10.006", language = "eng", url = "http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.orl.2012.10.006", country = "Netherlands", issn = "0167-6377", flags = "DC, public, HIIT" }
