Abstract:Aiming at the constrained two-dimensional guillotine cutting problem of rectangular items, a heuristic algorithm with block corner-occupying pattern is presented in this paper. It can maximize the pattern value for the totally included items, but the occurring frequency of each item type doesn't exceed its upper bound. Several rows and columns of identical items are packed at the left-bottom corner of the sheet, and the remaining part is divided into two sub-sheets. The sub-sheets are then packed and divided i… Show more
