a bit of research on the upper bound of the error of this approximation. If OPT = the optimal found by brute force search, "first fit decreasing" is guaranteed to be no worse than 11/9 * OPT + 6/9 https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-74450-4_1 On Sun, Sep 22, 2019 at 4:2

Re: [FRIAM] Optimization problem

Gary, Thanks for posing this problem to the group - it's been fun to have in the back of the mind for a day. I agree with Pieter that this is a kind of knapsack problem for which Dynamic Programming is a popular approach where you would extend to multiple knapsacks. I might approach it with a var
