For all integers k 3, we give an O(n4 ) time algorithm for the problem whose instance is a graph G of girth at least k together with k vertices and whose question is "Does G...
This paper presents an algorithm for the unconstrained two-dimensional cutting problem of rectangular pieces. It proposes the two-stage general block pattern that can be cut into ...
In hardware design, it is necessary to simulate the anticipated behavior of the integrated circuit before it is actually cast in silicon. As simulation procedures are long due to ...
Finding a feasible solution of a given Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP) model is a very important (NP-complete) problem that can be extremely hard in practice. Very recently, Fisch...
The contribution presents a heuristic for the three-dimensional strip packing problem (3D-SPP) with rectangular pieces (boxes). The considered 3D-SPP can be formulated as follows:...
