Tighter relaxations for the cutting stock problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the cutting stock problem (CSP) a given order for smaller pieces has to be cut from larger stock material in such a way that the number of stock material needed is minimal. Based on the classical integer linear programming model the common solution technique consists of solving the corresponding continuous relaxation problem followed by several heuristics which construct integer solutions. In many cases an optimal solution can be obtained quickly in this way. But for instances which do not possess the integer round-up property the optimality of the solution obtained cannot be verified by means of the LP bound. In order to overcome this non-satisfactory situation, two tighter relaxations of the CSP are proposed, and results of theoretical and numerical investigations are presented.

Lower-dimensional Relaxations of Higher-dimensional Orthogonal Packing
Consider the feasibility problem in higher-dimensional orthogonal packing. Given a set I of d-dimensional rectangles, we need to decide whether a feasible packing in a d-dimensional rectangular container is possible. No item rotation is allowed and item edges are parallel to the coordinate axes. Typically, solution methods employ some bounds to facilitate the decision. Various bounds are known,...
متن کاملOne-dimensional relaxations and LP bounds for orthogonal packing
We consider the feasibility problem in d-dimensional orthogonal packing (d ≥ 2), called Orthogonal Packing Problem (OPP): given a set of ddimensional rectangular items, decide whether all of them can be orthogonally packed in the given rectangular container without item rotation. We review two kinds of 1D relaxations of OPP. The first kind is non-preemptive cumulative-resource scheduling, equiv...

In this algorithm, based on designed probabilistic laws, artificial ants do select various cuts and then select the...
متن کاملTighter Representations for Set Partitioning Problems
In this paper, we consider the set partitioning polytope and we begin by applying the reformulation-linearization technique of Sherali and Adams (1990, 1994) to generate a specialized hierarchy of relaxations by exploiting the structure of this polytope. We then show that several known classes of valid inequalities for this polytopc, as well as related tightening and composition rules, are auto...
متن کاملA simple approach to the two-dimensional guillotine cutting stock problem
Cutting stock problems are within knapsack optimization problems and are considered as a non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP)-hard problem. In this paper, two-dimensional cutting stock problems were presented in which items and stocks were rectangular and cuttings were guillotine. First, a new, practical, rapid, and heuristic method was proposed for such problems. Then, the ...
