A New Effective Hybrid Optimization Strategy for Rectangular Packing Problem

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper we address a rectangular packing problem (RPP), which is one of the most difficult NP-complete problems. First, greedy biggest space sequencing (GBSS) is presented as a new placement strategy, which is very essential to RPP. Then, borrowing from the respective advantages of the two algorithms, genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA), a hybrid optimization policy is developed. The hybrid GASA is subjected to a test using a set of benchmarks. Compared to other approaches from the literature the hybrid optimization strategy performs better.
