Online Bin Stretching is a semi-online variant of bin packing in which the algorithm has to use the same number of bins as the optimal packing, but is allowed to slightly
overpack the bins. The goal is to minimize the amount of overpacking, i.e., the maximum
size packed into any bin.
We give an algorithm for Online Bin Stretching with a stretching factor of 1:5 for
any number of bins. We also show a specialized algorithm for three bins with a stretching
factor of 11=8 = 1:375.
