Given a convex region P and a set of irregular polygons with associated profits, the
Maximum Polygon Packing Problem seeks a non-overlapping packing of a subset of the
polygons (without rotations) into P maximizing the profit of the packed polygons. Depending
on the size of an instance, we use different algorithmic solutions: integer linear programs for
small instances, genetic algorithms for medium-sized instances and a best-fit approach for
large instances. For packing rectilinear polygons we provide a dedicated best-fit algorithm.

Given a convex region P and a set of irregular polygons with associated profits, the Maximum Polygon Packing Problem seeks a non-overlapping packing of a subset of the polygons (without rotations) into P maximizing the profit of the packed polygons. Depending on the size of an instance, we use different algorithmic solutions: integer linear programs for small instances, genetic algorithms for medium-sized instances and a best-fit approach for large instances. For packing rectilinear polygons we provide a dedicated best-fit algorithm.
