Title
A probabilistic analysis of the Next-Fit bin packing algorithm
Abstract
An infinite supply of pieces, with i.i.d. sizes, is packed under the Next-Fit packing procedure. The process An, the number of bins required to pack n pieces, is investigated, and the first two moments are computed when the piece sizes are uniformly distributed. For this special case expressions for the distribution of An are also presented.
