High Multiplicity Strip Packing

چکیده
An instance of the two-dimensional strip packing problem is specified by n rectangular items, each having a width, 0 < wn ≤ 1, and height, 0 < hn ≤ 1. The objective is to place these items into a strip of width 1, without rotations, such that they are nonoverlapping and the total height of the resulting packing is minimized. In this thesis, we consider the version of the twodimensional strip packing problem where there is a constant number K of distinct rectangle sizes and present an OPT +K−1 polynomial-time approximation algorithm for it. This beats a previous algorithm with a worst case bound of OPT +K; the time complexity of that algorithm was not known and here we show that it runs in polynomial time.

A Comparative Study of Exact Algorithms for the Two Dimensional Strip Packing Problem
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...
متن کاملA new metaheuristic genetic-based placement algorithm for 2D strip packing
Given a container of fixed width, infinite height and a set of rectangular block, the 2D-strip packing problem consists of orthogonally placing all the rectangles such that the height is minimized. The position is subject to confinement of no overlapping of blocks. The problem is a complex NP-hard combinatorial optimization, thus a heuristic based on genetic algorithm is proposed to solve it. I...
متن کاملStrip Packing vs. Bin Packing
In this paper we establish a general algorithmic framework between bin packing and strip packing, with which we achieve the same asymptotic bounds by applying bin packing algorithms to strip packing. More precisely we obtain the following results: (1) Any offline bin packing algorithm can be applied to strip packing maintaining the same asymptotic worst-case ratio. Thus using FFD (MFFD) as a su...
متن کاملAn Efficient Hyperheuristic for Strip-Packing Problems
In this paper we introduce a hyperheuristic to solve hard strip packing problems. The hyperheuristic manages a sequence of greedy low-level heuristics, each element of the sequence placing a given number of objects. A low-level solution is built by placing the objects following the sequence of low-level heuristics. The hyperheuristic performs a hill-climbing algorithm on this sequence by testin...
متن کاملCollaboration Between Hyperheuristics to Solve Strip-Packing Problems
In this paper we introduce a collaboration framework for hyperheuristics to solve hard strip packing problems. We have designed a genetic based hyperheuristic to cooperate with a hill-climbing based hyperheuristic. Both of them use the most recently proposed low-level heuristics in the literature. REVAC, which has recently been proposed for tuning [18], has been used to find the best operators ...
