En 中文
The block relocation problem, which is also known as the container relocation problem, is an optimization problem to find an optimal sequence of operations for retrieving blocks (containers) from a container yard in a given order. The objective function to be minimized is the number of necessary relocations. In this study, we propose an efficient exact algorithm for two variants of the block relocation problem, those with distinct and duplicate retrieval priorities. In the former problem, the retrieval order of blocks is uniquely provided, whereas in the latter problem, it is given only among groups of blocks. The primary contribution of this study is a tighter lower bound of the number of relocations than existing ones. This enables us to construct a faster branch-and-bound algorithm. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by extensive numerical experiments.
