Tools of mathematical modelling of arbitrary object packing problems
Tools of mathematical modelling of arbitrary object packing problems
The article further develops phi-functions as an efficient tool for mathematical modelling of two-dimensional geometric optimization problems, such as cutting and packing problems and covering problems. The properties of the phi-function technique and its relationship with Minkowski sums and the nofit polygon are discussed. We also describe the advantages of phi-funtions over these approaches. A clear definition of the set of objects for which phi-functions may be derived is given and some exceptions are illustrated. A step by step procedure for deriving phi-functions illustrated with examples is provided including the case of continuous rotation.

Abstract
The article further develops phi-functions as an efficient tool for mathematical modelling of two-dimensional geometric optimization problems, such as cutting and packing problems and covering problems. The properties of the phi-function technique and its relationship with Minkowski sums and the nofit polygon are discussed. We also describe the advantages of phi-funtions over these approaches. A clear definition of the set of objects for which phi-functions may be derived is given and some exceptions are illustrated. A step by step procedure for deriving phi-functions illustrated with examples is provided including the case of continuous rotation.
