In textile industry, marker planning is one of the main operations in the cutting fabric stage. Marker packing is usually used to maximize cloth exploitation and minimize its waste. In this research, a method is used based on new found meta-heuristic imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) and Bottom-Left-Fill Algorithm (BLF) to achieve optimal marker packing. Function of the proposed method wa...

In this note, we fill a gap in the proof of the heuristic GCD in the multivariate case made by Char, Geddes and Gonnet ([1]) and give some additionnal information on this method.
