Rao Y., Luo Q. Intelligent Algorithms for Packing and Cutting Problem

Springer, 2022. — 338 p. — (Engineering Applications of Computational Methods 10). — ISBN 978-981-19-5915-8.This book investigates in detail the two-dimensional packing and cutting problems in the field of operations research and management science. It introduces the mathematical models and intelligent solving algorithms for these problems, as well as their engineering applications. Most intelligent methods reported in this book have already been applied in reality, which can provide reference for the engineers. The presented novel methods for the two-dimensional packing problem provide a new way to solve the problem for researchers interested in operations research or computer science. This book also introduces three new variants of packing problems and their solving methods, which offer a different research direction. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in the solving methods for packing and cutting problems, researchers investigating the application of intelligent algorithms, scientists studying the theory of the operations research and CAM software developers working on integration of packing and cutting problem.Introduction to the Packing and Cutting Problem
