Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search for Circle Bin Packing Problem
(2020)We address a new variant of packing problem called the circle bin packing problem (CBPP), which is to find a dense packing of circle items to multiple square bins so as to minimize the number of used bins. To this end, ... -
Adaptive large neighborhood search for solving the circle bin packing problem
(Pergamon, 2021)We address a new variant of packing problem called the circle bin packing problem (CBPP), which is to find a dense packing of circle items to multiple square bins so as to minimize the number of used bins. To this end, ... -
Adaptive simulated annealing with greedy search for the circle bin packing problem
(Pergamon, 2022)We introduce a new bin packing problem, termed the circle bin packing problem with circular items (CBPP-CI). The problem involves packing all the circular items into multiple identical circle bins as compact as possible ... -
