A Harmonic Algorithm for the 3D Strip Packing Problem
<12> This paper, in one of the top journals in theoretical computer science, presents the best-known harmonic algorithm for the 3-D strip-packing problem. A preliminary version appeared at SODA 2007, and the research has since seen application to problems including multiple strip packing (Bougeret, Grenoble), orthogonal packing for hypercubes (Harren, Saarbrucken), 3-D guillotine cutting problems (Queiroz, UNICAMP Brazil), decomposing and packing polygons (El-Khechen, Quebec) and scheduling parallel jobs (Dutot, Kiel). This research contributed to Sviridenko’s winning a Royal Society Wolfson Merit Award to study extensions of the techniques reported in this paper.
