Abstract

Two problems related to packing identical rectangles within a polyhedron are tackled in the present work. Rectangles are allowed to differ only by horizontal or vertical translations and possibly 90A degrees rotations. The first considered problem consists in packing as many identical rectangles as possible within a given polyhedron, while the second problem consists in finding the smallest polyhedron of a given type that accommodates a fixed number of identical rectangles. Both problems are modeled as mixed integer programming problems. Symmetry-breaking constraints that facilitate the solution of the MIP models are introduced. Numerical results are presented. (AU)
