چکیده

In [6] solutions for the nesting problem are produced using the No Fit Polygon (NFP), simulated annealing (SA) and a new evaluation method. It showed that SA could out perform hill climbing, thus suggesting that evolutionary approaches produce better solutions than a standard search algorithm. In this paper this work is developed. Genetic algorithms (GA) and tabu search (TS) are compared with the results already obtained with SA. The evaluation method is described, along with a description of the NFP. Computational results are given.

Applying Ant Algorithms and the No Fit Polygon to the Nesting Problem

In previous work solutions for the nesting problem are produced using the no fit polygon (NFP), a new evaluation method and three evolutionary algorithms (simulated annealing (SA), tabu search (TS) and genetic algorithms (GA)). Tabu search has been shown to produce the best quality solutions for two problems. In this paper this work is developed. A relatively new type of search algorithm (ant a...

Applying Simulated Annealing and the No Fit Polygon to the Nesting Problem

This paper presents a new method to pack convex polygons into bins (the nesting problem). To do this polygons are placed in rows within bins using a metaheuristic algorithm (simulated annealing) and by utilising the No Fit Polygon. We show that simulated annealing out performs hill climbing. The nesting algorithm is described in detail, along with various aspects that have been incorporated in ...

Evaluation of Two Dimensional Bin Packing Problem Using the No Fit Polygon

When employing evolutionary algorithms it is often the case that the evaluation function is the most computationally expensive part of the algorithm. Our evaluation function calculates the no fit polygon (NFP) for two polygons and then calculates the smallest convex hull for these two polygons. This process is repeated for each polygon. As the manipulation of polygons is computational expensive...
