Chapter Chapter 1 in Introduction to Cutting and Packing Optimization, 2018, pp 1-18 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Cutting and packing problems can be modeled in various ways which enables us to apply different solution approaches. Within this introductory chapter we introduce frequently used models by means of examples. Related solution approaches will be considered within the subsequent chapters. One of the essential aspects for modeling cutting and packing problems consists in the way of representing the objects which have to be placed. Although only three-dimensional objects appear in reality, the terms of one-dimensional cutting problem or two-dimensional packing problem are typically used depending on the number of parameters required to describe the problem in a sufficiently clear manner and to formulate an appropriate mathematical model.
