SUMMARY The bin packing problem is a problem of finding an assignment of a sequence of items to a minimum number of bins, each of capacity one. An online algorithm for the bin packing problem is an algorithm that irrevocably assigns each item one by one from the head of the sequence. Gutin, Jensen, and Yeo (2006) considered a version in which all items are only of two different sizes and the online algorithm knows the two possible sizes in advance, and gave an optimal online algorithm for the case when the larger size exceeds 1/2. In this paper we provide an optimal online algorithm for some of the cases when the larger size is at most 1/2, on the basis of a framework that facilitates the design and analysis of algorithms.
