Abstract EN
We consider the two-dimensional strip packing problem with guillotine cuts.
The problem consists in packing a set of rectangular items on one strip of width W and infinite height.
The items packed without overlapping must be extracted by a series of cuts that go from one edge to the opposite edge (guillotine constraint).
To solve this problem, we use a dichotomic algorithm that uses a lower bound, an upper bound, and a feasibility test algorithm.
The lower bound is based on solving a linear program by introducing new valid inequalities.
A new heuristic is used to compute the upper bound.
Computational results show that the dichotomic algorithm, using the new bounds, gives good results compared to existing methods.
