Download or read book Packing and Covering written by C. A. Rogers and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Rogers has written this economical and logical exposition of the theory of packing and covering at a time when the simplest general results are known and future progress seems likely to depend on detailed and complicated technical developments. The book treats mainly problems in n-dimensional space, where n is larger than 3. The approach is quantative and many estimates for packing and covering densities are obtained. The introduction gives a historical outline of the subject, stating results without proof, and the succeeding chapters contain a systematic account of the general results and their derivation. Some of the results have immediate applications in the theory of numbers, in analysis and in other branches of mathematics, while the quantative approach may well prove to be of increasing importance for further developments.

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.

Download or read book Cutting and Packing Problems written by Mutsunori Yagiura and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 300 pages. 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.
