An improved TOPOS constructive algorithm for nesting problems
Julia A. Bennell, Xiang Qun Song · ePrints Soton (University of Southampton) · 2005
A constructive approach for nesting problems based on the TOPOS algorithm is presented and improved via a more powerful nofit polygon generator that can efficiently represent holes in the partial solution. Hence the solution quality is less dependent on the placement order and new "best fit" criteria can be utilised.
