In this study, we address a specific 2D rectangle packing area minimization problem with central rectangle (CR-RPAMP). The most distinguishing feature of CR-RPAMP is that there exists at least one central rectangle among the candidate rectangles. The proposed MHACR (modified heuristic algorithm for...
