Abstract

This paper is motivated by the problem of fitting a group of cuboids into a simplified rotating vessel of the artificial satellite. Here we introduce a combinatorial optimization model which reduces the three-dimensional layout problem with behavioral constraints to a finite enumeration scheme. Moreover, a global combinatorial optimization algorithm is described in detail, which is an improved graph-theoretic heuristic.
