A branch & bound algorithm for cutting and packing irregularly shaped pieces
2013
Abstract Cutting and packing problems involving irregular shapes, usually known as Nesting Problems, are common in industries ranging from clothing and footwear to furniture and shipbuilding. Research publications on these problems are relatively scarce compared with other cutting and packing problems with rectangular shapes, and are focused mostly on heuristic approaches. In this paper we make a systematic study of the problem and develop an exact Branch & Bound Algorithm. The initial existing mixed integer formulations are reviewed, tested and used as a starting point to develop a new and more efficient formulation. We also study several branching strategies, lower bounds and procedures f…

This study analyzes the work ‘Estudios sobre el Japon’ (Studies about Japan), written by the Spanish diplomat Enrique Dupuy de Lome in 1895. These three elements (work, author and date) show us interconnections between the United States, Japan and Spain by the end of the 19th century. During this time, imperialism and nation states were taking part in the international context. From the Spanish point of view, these elements constituted a threat to the legitimacy of Spain in the Atlantic and Pacific´s colonies, or as Dupuy argues, a danger. Although our priority is to analyze Estudios sobre el Japon providing a chronology of the development of the different parts of the book, at the end, it …
