On Two Dimensional Orthogonal Knapsack Problem (0803.4260v1)
Published 29 Mar 2008 in cs.DS and cs.CC
Abstract: In this paper, we study the following knapsack problem: Given a list of squares with profits, we are requested to pack a sublist of them into a rectangular bin (not a unit square bin) to make profits in the bin as large as possible. We first observe there is a Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme (PTAS) for the problem of packing weighted squares into rectangular bins with large resources, then apply the PTAS to the problem of packing squares with profits into a rectangular bin and get a $\frac65+\epsilon$ approximation algorithm.
