Abstract
The online problem of covering variable sized bins was discussed. One-dimensional and multidimensional vector covering with variable sized bins were considered. The best possible competitive ratio for the set of bins B and the parameter m by giving both an algorithm with competitive ratio r(B,m) and an upper bound of r(B,m) on the competitive ratio of any online deterministic or randomized algorithm was presented.
