A note on the approximability of cutting stock problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cutting stock problems and bin packing problems are basically the same problems. They differ essentially on the variability of the input items. In the first, we have a set of items, each item with a given multiplicity; in the second, we have simply a list of items (each of which we may assume to have multiplicity 1). Many approximation algorithms have been designed for packing problems; a natural question is whether some of these algorithms can be extended to cutting stock problems. We define the notion of “well-behaved” algorithms and show that well-behaved approximation algorithms for one, two and higher dimensional bin packing problems can be translated to approximation algorithms for cutting stock problems with the same approximation ratios.

A 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 ...

متن کاملThe trim loss concentration in one-dimensional cutting stock problem (1D-CSP) by defining a virtual cost
Nowadays, One-Dimensional Cutting Stock Problem (1D-CSP) is used in many industrial processes and re-cently has been considered as one of the most important research topic. In this paper, a metaheuristic algo-rithm based on the Simulated Annealing (SA) method is represented to minimize the trim loss and also to fo-cus the trim loss on the minimum number of large objects. In this method, the 1D-...
