The constrained two-dimensional cutting (C_TDC) problem consists of determining a cutting pattern of a set of n small rectangular piece types on a rectangular stock plate S with length L and width W, ...

In the fast-paced realm of semiconductor technology, optimizing chip design to meet the dual challenges of performance enhancement and cost reduction has emerged as a pivotal focus. A new study ...

We consider the multiple vehicle pickup and delivery problem (MVPDP) with the objective of minimizing the total travel cost and the fixed vehicle cost. Most of the optimization-based approaches for ...

Graph cover problems form a critical area within discrete optimisation and theoretical computer science, addressing the challenge of selecting subsets of vertices (or edges) that satisfy predetermined ...
