Rectangle Packing Problem

The constrained rectangle-packing problem is the problem of packing a subset of rectangles into a larger rectangular container, with the objective of maximizing the layout value. It has many industrial applications such as shipping, wood and glass cutting, etc. Many algorithms have been proposed to solve it, for example, simulated annealing, genetic algorithm and other heuristic algorithms. In this paper a new heuristic algorithm is proposed based on two strategies: the rectangle selecting strategy and the rectangle packing strategy. We have applied the algorithm to 21 smaller, 630 larger and other zero-waste instances. The computational results demonstrate that the integrated performance of the algorithm is rather satisfying and the algorithm developed is fairly efficient for solving the constrained rectangle-packing problem.

Rectangle Packing Problem

This paper deals with the rectangle packing problem, of filling a big rectangle with smaller rectangles, while the rectangle dimensions are real numbers. A new nonlinear programming formulation is presented and the validity of the formulation is proved. In addition, two cases of the problem are presented, with and without rotation of smaller rectangles by 90?. The mixed integer piecewise linear formulation derived from the model is given, but with a simple form of the objective function.
