The Bin Covering Problem is a combinatorial optimization problem that can be viewed as a variant of the well-known bin packing problem. In this problem, the objective is to find a minimum number of bins (or containers) needed to cover a specific set of items (or elements) while adhering to certain constraints related to how these items can be grouped together. ### Problem Definition: 1. **Items**: You have a set of items, each with a certain size or weight.
