Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents practical algorithms for solving a wide variety of cutting and packing problems from the perspective of combinatorial optimization. Problems of cutting and packing objects in one-, two-, or three-dimensional space have been extensively studied for many years because of numerous real applications—for instance, in the clothing, logistics, manufacturing, and material industries. Cutting and packing problems can be classified in three ways according to their dimensions: The one-dimensional problem is the most basic category of problems including knapsack problems, bin packing problems, and cutting stock problems, among others. The two-dimensional problem is a category of geometric problems including rectangle packing problems, circle packing problems, and polygon packing problems, among others. The three-dimensional problem is the most difficult category of problems and has applications in container loading, cargo and warehouse management and so forth. Most of these variants are NP-hard, since they contain as a special case the knapsack problem or the bin packing problem, which are already known to be NP-hard. Therefore, heuristics and metaheuristics are very important to design practical algorithms for these problems. We survey practical algorithms for solving a wide variety of cutting and packing problems in this book. Another feature of cutting and packing problems is the requirement to develop powerful geometric tools to handle the wide variety and complexity of shapes that need to be packed. We also survey geometric properties and tools for cutting and packing problems in the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete, self-contained introduction to a powerful and resurgingmathematical discipline . Combinatorial Geometry presents andexplains with complete proofs some of the most important resultsand methods of this relatively young mathematical discipline,started by Minkowski, Fejes Toth, Rogers, and Erd???s. Nearly halfthe results presented in this book were discovered over the pasttwenty years, and most have never before appeared in any monograph.Combinatorial Geometry will be of particular interest tomathematicians, computer scientists, physicists, and materialsscientists interested in computational geometry, robotics, sceneanalysis, and computer-aided design. It is also a superb textbook,complete with end-of-chapter problems and hints to their solutionsthat help students clarify their understanding and test theirmastery of the material. Topics covered include: * Geometric number theory * Packing and covering with congruent convex disks * Extremal graph and hypergraph theory * Distribution of distances among finitely many points * Epsilon-nets and Vapnik--Chervonenkis dimension * Geometric graph theory * Geometric discrepancy theory * And much more

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization, IPCO 2017, held in Waterloo, IN, Canada, in June 2017. The 36 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 125 submissions. The conference is a forum for researchers and practitioners working on various aspects of integer programming and combinatorial optimization. The aim is to present recent developments in theory, computation, and applications in these areas. The scope of IPCO is viewed in a broad sense, to include algorithmic and structural results in integer programming and combinatorial optimization as well as revealing computational studies and novel applications of discrete optimization to practical problems.
