Tight absolute bound for First Fit Decreasing bin-packing: FFD(L)?11/9 FFD ( L ) ? 11 / 9 OPT(L)+6/9 OPT ( L ) + 6 / 9
First Fit Decreasing is a classical bin-packing algorithm: the items are ordered by non-increasing size, and then in this order the next item is always packed into the first bin where it fits. For an instance L  let FFD(L) FFD ( L ) and OPT(L) OPT ( L ) denote the number of bins used by algorithm FFD and by an optimal algorithm, respectively. In this paper we give the first complete proof of the inequality
