Abstract

Within this chapter we address those two- and higher-dimensional cutting and packing problems where the guillotine cutting condition has to be regarded. That means, given a pattern then the desired products can be obtained by a sequence of guillotine cuts. We will consider knapsack-type problems as well as cutting stock problems.
