A branch-and-price-and-cut algorithm for the pattern minimization problem

n cutting stock problems, after an optimal (minimal stockusage) cutting plan has been devised, one might want to further reducethe operational costs by minimizing the number of setups. A setupoperation occurs each time a different cutting pattern begins to beproduced. The related optimization proble...
