Bin packing problems are a class of NP-hard combinatorial optimisation challenges with wide-ranging applications in logistics, manufacturing, cloud computing and scheduling.

We consider the famous bin packing problem where a set of items must be stored in bins of equal capacity. In the classical version, the objective is to minimize the number of bins used. Motivated by ...
