On-line algorithms for bin-covering problems with known item distributions

This thesis focuses on algorithms solving the on-line Bin-Covering problem, when the items are generated from a known, stationary distribution. We introduce the Prospect Algorithm. The main idea behind the Prospect Algorithm is to use information on the item distribution to estimate how easy it wil...
