Abstract: The harmonic function was first introduced by Lee and Lee (JACM 1985) for analyzing their online bin-packing algorithm. Subsequently, it has been used to obtain approximation algorithms for many different packing problems. Here we slightly generalize the harmonic function and give alternative proofs of its important properties.
