Packing and cutting problems arise in a wide variety of industrial situations. The basic problem is that of determining a good arrangement of objects in a region without any overlap. Much research has been done on two and three dimensional rectangular packing while there has been little work done on irregular packing. In this work, we study the two-dimensional irregular packing problem and provide heuristic solutions which use rectilinear and piecewise-linear representations of objects. These heuristics include Genetic Algorithms and Tabu Search. Experimentation gives good results.

This paper proposes the hybrid adaptive genetic algorithm (HAGA) as an improved method for solving the NP-hard two-dimensional rectangular packing problem to maximize the filling rate of a rectangular sheet. The packing sequence and rotation state are encoded in a two-stage approach, and the initial population is constructed from random generation by a combination of sorting rules. After using the sort-based method as an improved selection operator for the hybrid adaptive genetic algorithm, the crossover probability and mutation probability are adjusted adaptively according to the joint action of individual fitness from the local perspective and the global perspective of population evolution. The approach not only can obtain differential performance for individuals but also deals with the impact of dynamic changes on population evolution to quickly find a further improved solution. The heuristic placement algorithm decodes the rectangular packing sequence and addresses the two-dimensional rectangular packing problem through continuous iterative optimization. The computational results of a wide range of benchmark instances from zero-waste to non-zero-waste problems show that the HAGA outperforms those of two adaptive genetic algorithms from the related literature. Compared with some recent algorithms, this algorithm, which can be increased by up to 1.6604% for the average filling rate, has great significance for improving the quality of work in fields such as packing and cutting.

This paper considers the two dimensional rectangular packing problem. The mathematical formulation is based on the optimization of a non-linear function with piecewise linear constraints with a small number of real variables. The presented method of m-M calculus finds all optimal solutions on small instances. Computational performance is good on smaller instances.
