Abstract

We study in this paper a cutting-covering problem, defined by us in [2] and [3], the problem of covering a rectangular support with rectangular pieces cut from a roll. We first prove that the algorithm used in [2] and [3] for the rectangular cutting-covering problem without losses is not optimal. Starting from a decomposition of a natural number in sums of naturals we develop an algorithm for a better solution for the rectangular cutting-covering problem. Some examples and also the estimation of this algorithm's complexity are presented.
