A superior linearization method for signomial discrete functions in solving three-dimensional open-dimension rectangular packing problems

This article studies the three-dimensional open-dimension rectangular packing problem (3D-ODRPP) in which a set of given rectangular boxes is packed into a large container of minimal volume. This problem is usually formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem with a signomial term in...
