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.

This paper applies cuckoo search and bat metaheuristic algorithms to solve two-dimensional non-guillotine rectangle packing problem. These algorithms have not been found to be used before in the literature to solve this important industrial problem. The purpose of this work is to explore the potential of these new metaheuristic methods and to check whether they can contribute in enhancing the performance of this problem. Standard benchmark test data has been used to solve the problem. The performance of these algorithms was measured and compared with genetic algorithm and tabu search techniques which can be found to be used widely in the literature to solve this problem. Good optimal solutions were obtained from all the techniques and the new metaheuristic algorithms performed better than genetic algorithm and tabu search. It was seen that cuckoo search algorithm excels in performance as compared to the other techniques.

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.
