In this paper we discuss the problem of packing a set of small rectangles (pieces) in an enclosing ®nal rectangle. We present ®rst a best-®rst branch-and-bound exact algorithm and second a heuristic approach in order to solve exactly and approximately this problem. The performances of the proposed a
An important generalization of the traveling salesman problem called the traveling purchaser problem is considered. A branch and bound algorithm which solves a related simple plant location problem for calculating the bounds is proposed for this problem. Computational experiments with this algorithm
