Advanced Optimisation Techniques to the Variable‐Sized 2‐dimensional Bin Packing Problem

This project deals with the two-dimensional bin packing problem that consists in packing without overlap small rectangular items into large non-identical rectangular bins, with the items obtained via guillotine edge-to-edge cuts. This NP-hard combinatorial optimisation problem asks to minimize the waste of the used bins. Even though the general bin packing
problem has been a subject for intensive study over the past decades, research on its variable-sized two-dimensional variant is still limited because of the intrinsic computational
complexity that makes it challenging to solve to optimality. The aim of this project is to develop time-efficient approximate approaches to the problem and explore effective
decomposition techniques to solve instances of moderate size.
