In multistage cutting stock problems (CSP) the cutting process is distributed over several successive stages. Every stage except the last one produces intermediate products. The l...
A new model for the One-dimensional Cutting Stock problem using Genetic Algorithms (GA) is developed to optimize construction steel bars waste. One-dimensional construction stocks...
Hyper-heuristics are new approaches which aim at raising the level of abstraction when solving combinatorial optimisation problems. In this paper we introduce a new hyper-heuristi...
In this paper, we study different strategies to stabilize and accelerate the column generation method, when it is applied specifically to the variable sized bin-packing problem,...
The bounded multiple-class binary knapsack problem is a variant of the knapsack problem where the items are partitioned into classes and the item weights in each class are a multip...
