چکیده
In this paper we consider a two dimensional strip packing problem. The problem consists of packing a set of rectangular items in one strip of width W and infinite height. They must be packed without overlapping, parallel to the edge of the strip and we assume that the items are oriented, i.e. they cannot be rotated. To solve this problem, we use three exact methods: a branch and bound method, a dichotomous algorithm and a branch and price method. The three methods were carried out and compared on literature instances.

متن کاملSymmetry breaking generalized disjunctive formulation for the strip packing problem
The two-dimensional strip packing is a special case of “Cutting and Packing” problems that arises in many applications. The problem seeks to pack a given set of rectangles into a strip of given width in order to minimize its length. Some applications in which the strip packing problem arises are: Cutting pieces from wooden boards, cutting pieces from glass or steel sheets, optimal layout of ind...
متن کاملExtending Two-Dimensional Bin Packing Problem: Consideration of Priority for Items
In this paper a two-dimensional non-oriented guillotine bin packing problem is studied when items have different priorities. Our objective is to maximize the total profit which is total revenues minus costs of used bins and wasted area. A genetic algorithm is developed to solve this problem where a new coding scheme is introduced. To evaluate the performance of the proposed GA, first an upper b...
متن کاملExact algorithms for the two-dimensional strip packing problem with and without rotations
We examine various strategies for exact approaches to the 2dimensional strip packing problem (2SP) with and without rotations of 90 degrees. We first develop a branch-and-bound algorithm based on the sequence pair representation. Next, we focus on the perfect packing problem (PP), which is a special case of 2SP where all given rectangles are required to be packed without wasted space, and desig...
متن کاملExact Algorithms for the 2-Dimensional Strip Packing Problem with and without Rotations
We propose exact algorithms for the 2-dimensional strip packing problem (2SP) with and without 90 degrees rotations. We first focus on the perfect packing problem (PP), which is a special case of 2SP, wherein all given rectangles are required to be packed without wasted space, and design branch-and-bound algorithms introducing several branching rules and bounding operations. A combination of th...
