Simulated Annealing Applied to One-Dimensional Packaging Problem
Abstract
The one-dimension bin packing problem (PEU) is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem, with several applications in the real world. There are several methods and forms present in the literature to find solutions to this type of problem. In this paper, a Simulated Annealing metaheuristic was developed for the resolution of the PEU, and mathematical solver Gurobi was used to obtain optimal solutions. Computational experiments were conducted, and the proposed SA proved to be robust in solving instances from the literature
