bppc8-02: Instance-to-Instance Comparison Results

Type: Instance
Submitter: Manuel Iori
Description: The models that we attach solve the "bar-relaxation", also known as the "Bin Packing Problem with Contiguity" or the "P||Cmax with contiguity". This is one of the most interesting relaxations for two dimensional cutting and packing problems. Its solution by means of an ILP software is the bottleneck of the primal decomposition methods that we attempted in the paper cited below. In detail, the files correspond to model (12)-(15) in the paper, applied to the instances of the Classes 4, 6 and 8 by Martello and Vigo (Management Science, 1998).

scp Shunji Umetani This is a random test model generator for SCP using the scheme of the following paper, namely the column cost c[j] are integer randomly generated from [1,100]; every column covers at least one row; and every row is covered by at least two columns. see reference: E. Balas and A. Ho, Set covering algorithms using cutting planes, heuristics, and subgradient optimization: A computational study, Mathematical Programming, 12 (1980), 37-60. We have newly generated Classes I-N with the following parameter values, where each class has five models. We have also generated reduced models by a standard pricing method in the following paper: S. Umetani and M. Yagiura, Relaxation heuristics for the set covering problem, Journal of the Operations Research Society of Japan, 50 (2007), 350-375. You can obtain the model generator program from the following web site. https://sites.google.com/site/shunjiumetani/benchmark 1.364490 2
