Exact solution of bin‐packing problems using column generation and branch‐and‐bound

TL;DR: The linear relaxation of this model provides a strong lower bound for the bin‐packing problem and leads to tractable branch‐and‐bound trees for the instances under consideration.

Solving binary cutting stock problems by column generation and branch-and-bound

TL;DR: An algorithm is presented that employs both column generation and branch-and-bound to obtain optimal integer solutions for the binary cutting stock problem and a branching rule is formulated that can be incorporated into the subproblem to allow column generation at any node in the branch- and-bound tree.

Computational study of a column generation algorithm for bin packing and cutting stock problems

TL;DR: The main focus of the research is to study the extend to which standard branch- and-bound enhancement features such as variable fixing, the tightening of the formulation with cutting planes, early branching, and rounding heuristics can be usefully incorporated in a branch-and-price algorithm.

Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness

TL;DR: The second edition of a quarterly column as discussed by the authors provides a continuing update to the list of problems (NP-complete and harder) presented by M. R. Garey and myself in our book "Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness,” W. H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco, 1979.

The cutting stock problem and integer rounding

TL;DR: It is proved that certain classes of cutting stock problems have the integer round-up property and the proof of these results relies upon the decomposition properties of certain knapsack polyhedra.

Integer Rounding for Polymatroid and Branching Optimization Problems

TL;DR: In this article, the integer round-down and round-up properties for certain matrices related to integral polymatroids and branchings in directed graphs were shown. And they were shown to hold for all matrices with rational entries.
