Abstract

In this
study, a heuristic solution method is presented for one dimensional bin packing
problem. A heuristic initial solution algorithm based on the lower bound is
proposed to create the initial solution. In addition to the proposed
heuristics, other placement algorithms in the literature are discussed, and the
results obtained are compared with the results obtained in the literature. Swap
algorithms together with weighted annealing method are applied to the results
of the initial solutions, and the number of bins used are minimized. The test
sets in the literature are solved, the resolution times and the results
obtained are compared with the best known solution in the literature and other
developed methods. It has been observed that the heuristic method proposed in
the literature compares with the solution in a shorter time. It has also been
observed that in 2 samples of the solved test set a better solution is obtained
than the best known solution in the literature.

ALT SINIR TEMELİNE DAYALI AĞIRLIKLI TAVLAMA YÖNTEMİ İLE KUTULAMA PROBLEMİNİN ÇÖZÜMÜ

Abstract

Bu
çalışmada bir boyutlu kutulama problemi için melez yeni bir sezgisel çözüm
yöntemi sunulmuştur. Önerilen yaklaşımda, başlangıç çözümü oluşturmak için alt
sınıra dayalı sezgisel bir başlangıç çözüm algoritması önerilmiştir. Önerilen
sezgisel ile birlikte literatürde yer alan diğer yerleştirme algoritmaları ele
alınmış, elde edilen sonuçlar literatürde ulaşılan sonuçlarla karşılaştırılmıştır.
Başlangıç çözümü sonrası elde edilen çözüme ağırlıklı tavlama yöntemiyle
birlikte yer değiştirme algoritmaları uygulanmış ve kullanılan kutu sayısını
minimize etmek amaçlanmıştır. Literatürde yer alan test kümeleri çözülmüş,
çözüm süreleri ve elde edilen sonuçlar bilinen en iyi sonuçlarla ve
geliştirilen diğer yöntemlerle karşılaştırılmıştır. Literatür ile yapılan
karşılaştırmalarda önerilen sezgisel yöntemin daha kısa sürede çözüme ulaştığı
gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca çözülen test kümesinin 2 örneğinde literatürdeki en iyi
bilinen çözümden daha iyi bir çözüm elde edildiği gözlemlenmiştir.
