We present a new approach to optimal rectangle packing, an NP-complete problem that can be used to model many simple scheduling tasks. Recent attempts at incorporating artificial ...
In this abstract, we present a rule-based modelling language for constraint programming, called Rules2CP [1], and a library PKML for modelling packing problems. Unlike other modell...
Abstract. We describe fully polynomial time approximation schemes for generalized multicommodity flow problems arising in VLSI applications such as Global Routing via Buffer Block...

We consider a one dimensional storage system where each container can store a bounded amount of capacity as well as a bounded number of items k ≥ 2. This defines the (standard)...
The problem of packing k edge-disjoint triangles in a graph has been thoroughly studied both in the classical complexity and the approximation fields and it has a wide range of ap...
