چکیده
This paper focuses on the following problems: Problem 1 Given an axis parallel rectangle, how do you cut it in k equal area pieces such that the total length of the cuts is minimum? What are the properties of an optimal cut? Problem 2 Given an axis parallel prism, how do you cut it in k equal volume pieces such that the total surface area of the cuts is minimum? What are the properties of an optimal cut?

Inproved Bounds for Rectangular and Guillotine Partitions
We study the problem of partitioning a rectangle S with a set of interior points Q into rectangles by introducing a set of line segments of least total length. The set of partitioning line segments must include every point in Q. Since this prob/em is computationally intractable (NP-hard), several approximation algorithms for its solution have been developed. In this paper we show that the lengt...
متن کاملA Fast Algorithm for Covering Rectangular Orthogonal Polygons with a Minimum Number of r-Stars
Introduction This paper presents an algorithm for covering orthogonal polygons with minimal number of guards. This idea examines the minimum number of guards for orthogonal simple polygons (without holes) for all scenarios and can also find a rectangular area for each guards. We consider the problem of covering orthogonal polygons with a minimum number of r-stars. In each orthogonal polygon P,...
متن کاملNear Pole Polar Diagram of Points and its Duality with Applications
In this paper we propose a new approach to plane partitioning with similar features to those of Polar Diagram, but we assume that the pole is close to the sites. The result is a new tessellation of the plane in regions called Near Pole Polar Diagram NPPD. Here we define the (NPPD) of points, the dual and the Contracted dual of it, present an optimal algorithms to draw them and discuss the appli...
متن کاملPartitioning a rectangle into small perimeter rectangles
Alon, N. and D.J. Kleitman, Partitioning a rectangle into small perimeter rectangles, Discrete Mathematics 103 (1992) 111-119. We show that the way to partition a unit square into kZ + s rectangles, for s = 1 or s = -1, so as to minimize the largest perimeter of the rectangles, is to have k 1 rows of k identical rectangles and one row of k + s identical rectangles, with all rectangles having th...
متن کاملAn effective recursive partitioning approach for the packing of identical rectangles in a rectangle
In this work, we deal with the problem of packing (orthogonally and without overlapping) identical rectangles in a rectangle. This problem appears in different logistics settings, such as the loading of boxes on pallets, the arrangements of pallets in trucks and the stowing of cargo in ships. We present a recursive partitioning approach combining improved versions of a recursive five-block heur...
