Title
Complexity and approximation of an area packing problem.
Abstract
Motivated by an application in mobile telecommunication systems, we investigate a packing problem in which items are specified in terms of area constraints. We establish strong \({{\mathcal {NP}}}\)-hardness of this problem, provide a linear time 3-approximation algorithm, and discuss the combinatorics of a special case.
