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.
Download or read book Intelligent Algorithms for Packing and Cutting Problem written by Yunqing Rao and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates in detail the two-dimensional packing and cutting problems in the field of operations research and management science. It introduces the mathematical models and intelligent solving algorithms for these problems, as well as their engineering applications. Most intelligent methods reported in this book have already been applied in reality, which can provide reference for the engineers. The presented novel methods for the two-dimensional packing problem provide a new way to solve the problem for researchers interested in operations research or computer science. This book also introduces three new variants of packing problems and their solving methods, which offer a different research direction. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in the solving methods for packing and cutting problems, researchers investigating the application of intelligent algorithms, scientists studying the theory of the operations research and CAM software developers working on integration of packing and cutting problem.
Download or read book Knapsack Problems written by Hans Kellerer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirteen years have passed since the seminal book on knapsack problems by Martello and Toth appeared. On this occasion a former colleague exclaimed back in 1990: "How can you write 250 pages on the knapsack problem?" Indeed, the definition of the knapsack problem is easily understood even by a non-expert who will not suspect the presence of challenging research topics in this area at the first glance. However, in the last decade a large number of research publications contributed new results for the knapsack problem in all areas of interest such as exact algorithms, heuristics and approximation schemes. Moreover, the extension of the knapsack problem to higher dimensions both in the number of constraints and in the num ber of knapsacks, as well as the modification of the problem structure concerning the available item set and the objective function, leads to a number of interesting variations of practical relevance which were the subject of intensive research during the last few years. Hence, two years ago the idea arose to produce a new monograph covering not only the most recent developments of the standard knapsack problem, but also giving a comprehensive treatment of the whole knapsack family including the siblings such as the subset sum problem and the bounded and unbounded knapsack problem, and also more distant relatives such as multidimensional, multiple, multiple-choice and quadratic knapsack problems in dedicated chapters.
Download or read book Knapsack Problems written by Hans Kellerer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-02-20 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a full-scale presentation of all methods and techniques available for the solution of the Knapsack problem. This most basic combinatorial optimization problem appears explicitly or as a subproblem in a wide range of optimization models with backgrounds such diverse as cutting and packing, finance, logistics or general integer programming. This monograph spans the range from a comprehensive introduction of classical algorithmic methods to the unified presentation of the most recent and advanced results in this area many of them originating from the authors. The chapters dealing with particular versions and extensions of the Knapsack problem are self-contained to a high degree and provide a valuable source of reference for researchers. Due to its simple structure, the Knapsack problem is an ideal model for introducing solution techniques to students of computer science, mathematics and economics. The first three chapters give an in-depth treatment of several basic techniques, making the book also suitable as underlying literature for courses in combinatorial optimization and approximation.
Download or read book Knapsack Problems written by Silvano Martello and published by . This book was released on 1990-12-14 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a state of art examination on exact and approximate algorithms for a number of important NP-hard problems in the field of integer linear programming, which the authors refer to as ``knapsack.'' Includes not only the classical knapsack problems such as binary, bounded, unbounded or binary multiple, but also less familiar problems such as subset-sum and change-making. Well known problems that are not usually classified in the knapsack area, including generalized assignment and bin packing, are also covered. The text fully develops an algorithmic approach without losing mathematical rigor.

Download or read book Cutting and Packing in Production and Distribution written by Harald Dyckhoff and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cutting and packing problems such as the cutting of sheet metal and the loading of contain ers or, in a more abstract sense, capital budgeting or assembly line balancing have been treated in scientific literature of various disciplines for about fifty years. Since the pioneer work of Kantorovich in 1939, which frrst appeared in the West in 1960, there has been a steadily growing number of contributions of increasing importance in this research area, particularly in the past decade. As of today more than 700 contributions exist even when applying a strict categorisation. Since comprehensive monographies and compiled studies are still lacking, it is very time consuming and thus expensive to search for a suitable solution procedure for concrete problems in the available literature. Thus, an apparently simpler way is often chosen, which is to develop ones own approach. For this reason there is not only the danger of unnecessary effort and scientific repetition, but it is reality. With the goal of improved research coordination an interdisciplinary Special Interest Group on Cutting and Packing (SICUP) was founded in 1988, which meets every two years (1988 Paris, 1990 Athens, 1992 San Francisco) and issues a semi-annual newsletter (SICUP Bulletin) with up-to-date information. This book is intended to assist in the coordination of research work in this area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book integrates the key concepts of mathematical programming (MP) and constraint programming (CP) into a unified framework that allows them to be generalized and combined. The unification of MP and CP creates optimization methods that have much greater modeling power, increased computational speed, and a sizeable reduction computational coding. This integration along with constraint programming being incorporated into a number of programming languages, brings the field a step closer to being able to simply state a problem and having the computer solve it.
