Title
Using Different Norms in Packing Circular Objects.
Abstract
A problem of packing unequal circles in a fixed size rectangular container is considered. The circle is considered in a general sense, as a set of points that are all the same distance (not necessary Euclidean) from a given point. An integer formulation is proposed using a grid approximating the container and considering the nodes of the grid as potential positions for assigning centers of the circles. The packing problem is then stated as a large scale linear 0-1 optimization problem. Valid inequalities are proposed to strengthening the original formulation. Nesting circles inside one another is considered tacking into account the thickness of the circles. Numerical results on packing circles, ellipses, rhombuses and octagons are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.
