Multilevel Linked Data Structure for the Multidimensional Orthogonal Packing Problem

Article Preview

Abstract:

The actual NP-completed orthogonal bin packing problem is considered in the article. In practice a solution of a large number of different practical problems, including problems in logistics and scheduling comes down to the bin packing problem. A decision of an any packing problem is represented as a placement string which contains a sequence of objects selected to pack. The article proposes a new multilevel linked data structure that improves the effectiveness of decoding of the placement string and as a consequence, increases the speed of packing generation. The new data structure is applicable for all multidimensional orthogonal bin packing problems.
