📝 Abstract
Bin packing asks whether a collection of items can be packed into at most a given number of bins of a given capacity. We consider the high-multiplicity setting with $d$ distinct item sizes, in which both the item sizes and the number of items of each size are encoded in binary. Goemans and Rothvos (JACM 2020) gave an XP algorithm parameterized by $d$. Whether this problem is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) in $d$ has remained a central open problem. We resolve this question by giving a deterministic $O^*(2^{d^{O(d)}})$-time algorithm. We formulate bin packing as an integer linear program (ILP) with at most $(d+1)d^d$ variables. A bin configuration records the number of items of each type in one bin. We partition these configurations by their coordinate remainders modulo $d$. For each class, we use one variable for the bin count and $d$ variables for the total item counts. The convex hull of each class has the integer decomposition property, which guarantees that every feasible ILP solution corresponds to a packing.
