We consider the online problem of packing circles into a square container. A sequence of circles has to be packed one at a time, without knowledge of the following incoming circles and without moving previously packed circles. We present an algorithm that packs any online sequence of circles with a combined area not larger than 0.350389 0.350389 of the squares area, improving the previous best value of {pi}/10 approx 0.31416; even in an offline setting, there is an upper bound of {pi}/(3 + 2 sqrt{2}) approx 0.5390. If only circles with radii of at least 0.026622 are considered, our algorithm achieves the higher value 0.375898. As a byproduct, we give an online algorithm for packing circles into a 1times b rectangle with b geq 1. This algorithm is worst case-optimal for b geq 2.36.
We give an asymptotic approximation scheme (APTAS) for the problem of packing a set of circles into a minimum number of unit square bins. To obtain rational solutions, we use augmented bins of height $1+gamma$, for some arbitrarily small number $gamm
Given a set R of red points and a set B of blue points in the plane, the Red-Blue point separation problem asks if there are at most k lines that separate R from B, that is, each cell induced by the lines of the solution is either empty or monochroma
We study emph{parallel} online algorithms: For some fixed integer $k$, a collective of $k$ parallel processes that perform online decisions on the same sequence of events forms a $k$-emph{copy algorithm}. For any given time and input sequence, th
We give algorithms with running time $2^{O({sqrt{k}log{k}})} cdot n^{O(1)}$ for the following problems. Given an $n$-vertex unit disk graph $G$ and an integer $k$, decide whether $G$ contains (1) a path on exactly/at least $k$ vertices, (2) a cycle o
In the stochastic online vector balancing problem, vectors $v_1,v_2,ldots,v_T$ chosen independently from an arbitrary distribution in $mathbb{R}^n$ arrive one-by-one and must be immediately given a $pm$ sign. The goal is to keep the norm of the discr
