Recent advances on two-dimensional bin packing problems (Q697576)

The paper is the survey of recent advances obtained for the two-dimensional bin packing problem with special emphasis on exact algorithms and effective heuristic and metaheuristic approaches. The authors consider only off-line heuristic algorithms, for which it is assumed that the algorithm has full knowledge of the whole input. In particular it is presented some estimations of the optimal solution value. It is given the extensive list of the literature on this theme.
