Local search algorithms for the rectangle packing problem with general spatial costs 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
We propose local search algorithms for the rectangle packing problem to minimize a general spatial cost associated with the locations of rectangles. The problem is to pack given rectangles without overlap in the plane so that the maximum cost of the rectangles is minimized. Each rectangle has a set of modes, where each mode specifies the width and height of the rectangle and its spatial cost function. The spatial costs are general piecewise linear functions which can be non-convex and discontinuous. Various types of packing problems and scheduling problems can be formulated in this form. To represent a solution of this problem, a pair of permutations of n rectangles is used to determine their horizontal and vertical partial orders, respectively. We show that, under the constraint specified by such a pair of permutations, optimal locations of the rectangles can be efficiently determined by using dynamic programming. The search for finding good pairs of permutations is conducted by local search and metaheuristic algorithms. We report computational results on various implementations using different neighborhoods, and compare their performance. We also compare our algorithms with other existing heuristic algorithms for the rectangle packing problem and scheduling problem. These computational results exhibit good prospects of the proposed algorithms.

The paper considerspacking of rectanglesinto an infinite bin. Similar to theTetris game, the rectangles arrive from the top and, once placed, cannot be moved again. The rectangles are moved inside the bin to reach their place. For the case in which rotations are allowed, we design an algorithm whose performance ratio is constant. In contrast, if rotations are not allowed, we show that no algorithm of constant ratio exists. For this case we design an algorithm with performance ratio ofO(log(1/)), where is the minimum width of any rectangle. We also show that no algorithm can achieve a better ratio than
for this case. 相似文献

We consider the NP-complete problem of finding an enclosing rectangle of minimum area that will contain a given a set of rectangles.
We present two different constraint-satisfaction formulations of this problem. The first searches a space of absolute placements
of rectangles in the enclosing rectangle, while the other searches a space of relative placements between pairs of rectangles.
Both approaches dramatically outperform previous approaches to optimal rectangle packing. For problems where the rectangle
dimensions have low precision, such as small integers, absolute placement is generally more efficient, whereas for rectangles
with high-precision dimensions, relative placement will be more effective. In two sets of experiments, we find both the smallest
rectangles and squares that can contain the set of squares of size 1×1, 2×2,…,N×N, for N up to 27. In addition, we solve an open problem dating to 1966, concerning packing the set of consecutive squares up to 24×24
in a square of size 70×70. Finally, we find the smallest enclosing rectangles that can contain a set of unoriented rectangles
of size 1×2, 2×3, 3×4,…,N×(N+1), for N up to 25. 相似文献

Computational materials design has suffered from a lack of algorithms formulated in terms of experimentally accessible variables. Here we formulate the problem of (ternary) alloy optimization at the level of choice of atoms and their composition that is normal for synthesists. Mathematically, this is a mixed integer problem where a candidate solution consists of a choice of three elements, and how much of each of them to use. This space has the natural structure of a set of equilateral triangles. We solve this problem by introducing a novel version of the DIRECT algorithm that (1) operates on equilateral triangles instead of rectangles and (2) works across multiple triangles. We demonstrate on a test case that the algorithm is both robust and efficient. Finally, we offer an explanation of the efficacy of DIRECT—specifically, its balance of global and local search—by showing that “potentially optimal rectangles” of the original algorithm are akin to the Pareto front of the “multi-component optimization” of global and local search. 相似文献

In this work, we deal with the problem of packing (orthogonally and without overlapping) identical rectangles in a rectangle. This problem appears in different logistics settings, such as the loading of boxes on pallets, the arrangements of pallets in trucks and the stowing of cargo in ships. We present a recursive partitioning approach combining improved versions of a recursive five-block heuristic and an L-approach for packing rectangles into larger rectangles and L-shaped pieces. The combined approach is able to rapidly find the optimal solutions of all instances of the pallet loading problem sets Cover I and II (more than 50?000 instances). It is also effective for solving the instances of problem set Cover III (almost 100?000 instances) and practical examples of a woodpulp stowage problem, if compared to other methods from the literature. Some theoretical results are also discussed and, based on them, efficient computer implementations are introduced. The computer implementation and the data sets are available for benchmarking purposes. 相似文献

Motivated by the problem of labeling maps, we investigate the problem of computing a large non-intersecting subset in a set of n rectangles in the plane. Our results are as follows. In O(n log n) time, we can find an O(log n)-factor approximation of the maximum subset in a set of n arbitrary axis-parallel rectangles in the plane. If all rectangles have unit height, we can find a 2-approximation in O(n log n) time. Extending this result, we obtain a (1 + 1/k)-approximation in time O(n log n + n2k−1) time, for any integer k ≥ 1. 相似文献

A set of circles, rectangles, and convex polygons are to be cut from rectangular design plates to be produced, or from a set of stocked rectangles of known geometric dimensions. The objective is to minimize the area of the design rectangles. The design plates are subject to lower and upper bounds of their widths and lengths. The objects are free of any orientation restrictions. If all nested objects fit into one design or stocked plate the problem is formulated and solved as a nonconvex nonlinear programming problem. If the number of objects cannot be cut from a single plate, additional integer variables are needed to represent the allocation problem leading to a nonconvex mixed integer nonlinear optimization problem. This is the first time that circles and arbitrary convex polygons are treated simultaneously in this context. We present exact mathematical programming solutions to both the design and allocation problem. For small number of objects to be cut we compute globally optimal solutions. One key idea in the developed NLP and MINLP models is to use separating hyperplanes to ensure that rectangles and polygons do not overlap with each other or with the circles. Another important idea used when dealing with several resource rectangles is to develop a model formulation which connects the binary variables only to the variables representing the center of the circles or the vertices of the polytopes but not to the non-overlap or shape constraints. We support the solution process by symmetry breaking constraints. In addition we compute lower bounds, which are constructed by a relaxed model in which each polygon is replaced by the largest circle fitting into that polygon. We have successfully applied several solution techniques to solve this problem among them the Branch&Reduce Optimization Navigator (BARON) and the LindoGlobal solver called from GAMS, and, as described in Rebennack et al. [21], a column enumeration approach in which the columns represent the assignments. Good feasible solutions are computed within seconds or minutes usually during preprocessing. In most cases they turn out to be globally optimal. For up to 10 circles, we prove global optimality up to a gap of the order of 10?8 in short time. Cases with a modest number of objects, for instance, 6 circles and 3 rectangles, are also solved in short time to global optimality. For test instances involving non-rectangular polygons it is difficult to obtain small gaps. In such cases we are content to obtain gaps of the order of 10%. 相似文献

Boundary value problems for the Poisson equation are considered in a multilevel thick junction consisting of a junction body
and a lot of alternating thin rectangles of two levels depending on their lengths. Rectangles of the first level have a finite
length, whereas rectangles of the second level have a length ε
α
, 0 < α < 1, where ε is the alternation period. On the boundary of thin rectangles, an inhomogeneous Neumann boundary condition involving additional
perturbation parameters is imposed. We prove convergence theorems for solutions and energy integrals. Regarding the convergence
of solutions of the original problem to solutions of the homogenized problem, we establish some (auxiliary) estimates necessary
for obtaining the convergence rate. Bibliography: 48 titles. Illustrations: 3 figures.

We consider the problem of packing two-dimensional rectangles into the minimum number of unit squares, when 90° rotations are allowed. Our main contribution is a polynomial-time algorithm for packing rectangles into at most OPT bins whose sides have length (1+ε), for any positive ε. Additionally, we show near-optimal packing results for a number of related packing problems. 相似文献

The dilation of a geometric graph is the maximum, over all pairs of points in the graph, of the ratio of the Euclidean length of the shortest path between them in the graph and their Euclidean distance. We consider a generalized version of this notion, where the nodes of the graph are not points but axis-parallel rectangles in the plane. The arcs in the graph are horizontal or vertical segments connecting a pair of rectangles, and the distance measure we use is the -distance. The dilation of a pair of points is then defined as the length of the shortest rectilinear path between them that stays within the union of the rectangles and the connecting segments, divided by their -distance. The dilation of the graph is the maximum dilation over all pairs of points in the union of the rectangles.We study the following problem: given n non-intersecting rectangles and a graph describing which pairs of rectangles are to be connected, we wish to place the connecting segments such that the dilation is minimized. We obtain four results on this problem: (i) for arbitrary graphs, the problem is NP-hard; (ii) for trees, we can solve the problem by linear programming on variables and constraints; (iii) for paths, we can solve the problem in time ; (iv) for rectangles sorted vertically along a path, the problem can be solved in time, and a -approximation can be computed in linear time. 相似文献

Finding the connected components and a maximum clique of an intersection graph of rectangles in the plane 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

An intersection graph of rectangles in the (x, y)-plane with sides parallel to the axes is obtained by representing each rectangle by a vertex and connecting two vertices by an edge if and only if the corresponding rectangles intersect. This paper describes algorithms for two problems on intersection graphs of rectangles in the plane. One is an O(n log n) algorithm for finding the connected components of an intersection graph of n rectangles. This algorithm is optimal to within a constant factor. The other is an O(n log n) algorithm for finding a maximum clique of such a graph. It seems interesting that the maximum clique problem is polynomially solvable, because other related problems, such as the maximum stable set problem and the minimum clique cover problem, are known to be NP-complete for intersection graphs of rectangles. Furthermore, we briefly show that the k-colorability problem on intersection graphs of rectangles is NP-complete. 相似文献

We propose exact algorithms for the two-dimensional strip packing problem (2SP) with and without 90° rotations. We first focus on the perfect packing problem (PP), which is a special case of 2SP, wherein all given rectangles are required to be packed without wasted space, and design branch-and-bound algorithms introducing several branching rules and bounding operations. A combination of these rules yields an algorithm that is especially efficient for feasible instances of PP. We then propose several methods of applying the PP algorithms to 2SP. Our algorithms succeed in efficiently solving benchmark instances of PP with up to 500 rectangles and those of 2SP with up to 200 rectangles. They are often faster than existing exact algorithms specially tailored for problems without rotations. 相似文献

Motivated by a problem in communication complexity, we study cover-structure graphs (cs-graphs), defined as intersection graphs of maximal monochromatic rectangles in a matrix. We show that not every graph is a cs-graph. Especially, squares and odd holes are not cs-graphs.It is natural to look at graphs (beautiful graphs) having the property that each induced subgraph is a cs-graph. They form a new class of Berge graphs. We make progress towards their characterization by showing that every square-free bipartite graph is beautiful, and that beautiful line graphs of square-free bipartite graphs are just Path-or-Even-Cycle-of-Cliques graphs. 相似文献

We develop an Hm-conforming(m 1) spectral element method on multi-dimensional domain associated with the partition into multi-dimensional rectangles. We construct a set of basis functions on the interval [-1, 1] that are made up of the generalized Jacobi polynomials(GJPs) and the nodal basis functions.So the basis functions on multi-dimensional rectangles consist of the tensorial product of the basis functions on the interval [-1, 1]. Then we construct the spectral element interpolation operator and prove the associated interpolation error estimates. Finally, we apply the H2-conforming spectral element method to the Helmholtz transmission eigenvalues that is a hot problem in the field of engineering and mathematics. 相似文献

In this paper, we consider optimization problems under probabilistic constraints which are defined by two-sided inequalities
for the underlying normally distributed random vector. As a main step for an algorithmic solution of such problems, we prove
a derivative formula for (normal) probabilities of rectangles as functions of their lower or upper bounds. This formula allows
to reduce the calculus of such derivatives to the calculus of (normal) probabilities of rectangles themselves thus generalizing
a similar well-known statement for multivariate normal distribution functions. As an application, we consider a problem from
water reservoir management. One of the outcomes of the problem solution is that the (still frequently encountered) use of
simple individual probabilistic constraints can completely fail. By contrast, the (more difficult) use of joint probabilistic
constraints, which heavily depends on the derivative formula mentioned before, yields very reasonable and robust solutions
over the whole time horizon considered. 相似文献

The rectangle packing problem with general spatial costs is to pack given rectangles without overlap in the plane so that the maximum cost of the rectangles is minimized. This problem is very general, and various types of packing problems and scheduling problems can be formulated in this form. For this problem, we have previously presented local search algorithms using a pair of permutations of rectangles to represent a solution. In this paper, we propose speed-up techniques to evaluate solutions in various neighborhoods. Computational results for the rectangle packing problem and a real-world scheduling problem exhibit good prospects of the proposed techniques. 相似文献

We initiate a parameterized complexity study of the NP-hard problem to tile a positive integer matrix with rectangles, keeping the number of tiles and their maximum weight small. We show that the problem remains NP-hard even for binary matrices only using 1×1 and 2×2-squares as tiles and provide insight into the influence of naturally occurring parameters on the problem’s complexity. 相似文献

A squared rectangle is a rectangle dissected into squares. Similarly a rectangled rectangle is a rectangle dissected into rectangles. The classic paper ‘The dissection of rectangles into squares’ of Brooks, Smith, Stone and Tutte described a beautiful connection between squared rectangles and harmonic functions. In this paper we count dissections of a rectangle into a set of integral squares or a set of integral rectangles. Here, some squares and rectangles may have the same size. We introduce a method involving a recurrence relation of large sized matrices to enumerate squared and rectangled rectangles of a given sized rectangle and propose the asymptotic behavior of their growth rates. 相似文献

A number of problems concerning sets of points in the plane are studied, e.g. establishing whether it contains a subset of size 4, which are the vertices of a square or rectangle. Both the problems of finding axis-parallel squares and rectangles, and arbitrarily oriented squares and rectangles are studied. Efficient algorithms are obtained for all of them. Furthermore, we investigate the generalizations tod-dimensional space, where the problem is to find hyperrectangles and hypercubes. Also, upper and lower bounds are given for combinatorial problems on the maxium number of subsets of size 4, of which the points are the vertices of a square or rectangle. Then we state an equivalence between the problem of finding rectangles, and the problem of findingK
2, 2 subgraphs in bipartite graphs. Thus we immediately have an efficient algorithm for this graph problem.This work was partially supported by the ESPRIT Basic Research Action No. 3075 (project ALCOM).

The two-dimensional orthogonal packing problem (2OPP) consists in determining if a set of rectangles (items) can be packed into one rectangle of fixed size (bin). In this paper we propose two exact algorithms for solving this problem. The first algorithm is an improvement on a classical branch&bound method, whereas the second algorithm is based on a new relaxation of the problem. We also describe reduction procedures and lower bounds which can be used within enumerative methods. We report computational experiments for randomly generated benchmarks which demonstrate the efficiency of both methods: the second method is competitive compared to the best previous methods. It can be seen that our new relaxation allows an efficient detection of non-feasible instances. 相似文献
