Introduction to Cutting and Packing Optimization Problems, Modeling Approaches, Solution Methods

“The authors provide a comprehensive textbook about the cutting and packing problems. … The book is a good choice for students of mathematics, IT or engineering, researchers in the area of optimization as well as the pre-conditions dealing with problems of this kind.” (Marcin Anholcer, zbMATH 1391.90002, 2018)

“The book delves into details and it provides a comprehensive treatment of appropriate modelling approaches and solution methods of the problem types presented. The strategy of first addressing simple problems and then building up to the more complex ones is an effective teaching and learning strategy. This makes the book a valuable source of fundamental knowledge and latest research results for students, practitioners, and researchers who find themselves facing cutting and packing challenges.” (Hans W. Ittmann, IFORS News, Vol. 11 (4), December, 2017)
