Abstract

We describe our methodology for solving NP-hard irregular placement problems. We deal with an accurate representation of objects bounded by circular arcs and line segments and allow their free rotations within a container. We formulate a basic irregular placement problem (IRPP), which covers a wide spectrum of practical packing, cutting, nesting, clustering, and layout problems. We provide a nonlinear programming (NLP) model of the problem, employing the phi-function technique. Our model involves a large number of inequalities with nonsmooth functions. We describe a solution tree for our placement problem and evaluate the number of its terminal nodes. We reduce IRPP problem to a sequence of NLP-subproblems with smooth functions. Our solution strategy is based on combination of discrete and continuous optimization methods. We employ two approaches to solve IRPP problem: a branching scheme algorithm and an efficient optimization algorithm, which involves a feasible starting point and local optimization procedures. To show the benefits of our methodology we present computational results for a number of new challenger and the best known benchmark instances.
