A 2-exchange heuristic for nesting problems

TL;DR: A new heuristic for the nesting problem based on a 2-exchange neighbourhood generation strategy that guides the search through the solution space consisting of the sequences of pieces and relies on a low-level placement heuristic to actually convert one sequence in a feasible layout.

Fast neighborhood search for two- and three-dimensional nesting problems

TL;DR: A new heuristic solution method for two-dimensional nesting problems based on a simple local search scheme in which the neighborhood is any horizontal or vertical translation of a given polygon from its current position is presented.

Complete and robust no-fit polygon generation for the irregular stock cutting problem

TL;DR: This paper introduces a robust orbital method for the creation of no-fit polygons which does not suffer from the typical problem cases found in the other approaches from the literature.

A tutorial in irregular shape packing problems

TL;DR: The aim is not to give a chronological account or an exhaustive review, but to draw on the literature to describe and evaluate the core approaches to irregular shape packing.

Discrete Optimization Complete and robust no-fit polygon generation for the irregular stock cutting problem

TL;DR: In this article, a robust orbital method for the creation of no-fit polygons is proposed, which does not suffer from the typical problem cases found in the other approaches from the literature.

Applying adaptive algorithms to epistatic domains

TL;DR: New techniques for applying adaptive algorithms to epistatic domains, while retaining some of the strength of Holland's convergence proof are described, for two-dimensional bin-packing problems and graph coloring problems.
