Abstract

We consider a cutting problem, which have a practical application. In this problem, items are being cut from larger items, for example textile patterns from a panel of cloth. We deal steel tubes of given length, which have to be sawed from longer steel tubes. These longer steel tubes come with given costs and the sawing has to be planned such that the total costs are minimized.
