A lower bound for on-line vector-packing algorithms

In this paper we deal with the vector-packing problem which is a generalization of the well known one-dimensional bin-packing problem to higher dimensions. We give the first, non-trivial lower bounds on the asymptotic worst case ratio of any on-line cf-dimensional vector packing algorithm.
