Abstract

Bin packing problems deal with packing a set of items with sizes in (0, 1] into a minimum number of subsets, called bins, whose total sizes are no larger than 1. We study a class of bin packing games where the cost of an item packed into a bin with k items is $$\frac{1}{k}$$1k, that is, the cost sharing of each bin is uniform. We study the quality of strictly Pareto optimal equilibria and weakly Pareto optimal equilibria for these games.
