Abstract

Packing ellipses with arbitrary orientation into a convex polygonal container which has a given shape is considered. The objective is to find a minimum scaling (homothetic) coefficient for the polygon still containing a given collection of ellipses. New phi-functions and quasi phi-functions to describe non-overlapping and containment constraints are introduced. The packing problem is then stated as a continuous nonlinear programming problem. A solution approach is proposed combining a new starting point algorithm and a new modification of the LOFRT procedure (J Glob Optim 65(2):283–307, 2016) to search for locally optimal solutions. Computational results are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of our approach. The computational results are presented for new problem instances, as well as for instances presented in the recent paper ( http://www.optimization-online.org/DB_FILE/2016/03/5348.pdf , 2016).
