Abstract

This paper is regarding to the rectangular three dimensional bin packing problem, where a bin is loaded with a set of rectangular boxes, without overlapping. One of the most popular restriction for the solution of the 3D-bin packing problem is the guillotine restriction. That means that the packing patterns are so that the boxes can be obtained by sequential face-to-face cutting plane parallel to a face of the bin. Our objective is to find a method for verifying if a solution of the 3D-bin packing problem has the guillotine constrains or not. For this purpose we use a weighed graph representation of a solution of the problem, the generalization of this kind of representation obtained by us for 2D-cutting stock problem in [9, 10, 11].
