I'm dealing with a variation of the bin packing problem:




  • Variable sized bins

  • Variable number of bins

  • Currently 1D, might become 2D

  • There is a defined initial state - items have been already distributed to bins

  • There is a penalty for each move of an item to another bin

  • Goal: The number of used bins should be reduced as much as possible


I'm thinking this boils down to an combinatorics problem optimizing a target function with the number of used bins in the final state and the moves needed to reach that state, each appropriately weighted.



I didn't find any resource dealing with this particular problem. Especially the penalty seems an unknown variant.



Could you point me in the right direction, or give some advice?



Thanks,
Greg
