[sci.math.stat] optimal packing problems

schultz@halley.est.3m.com (John C. Schultz) (04/16/91)

Does anyone have suggestions on optimal packing techniques?

Specifically I am interested in how to maximize the number of
arbitrary sized rectangles which can be positioned anywhere on a
larger, arbitrary sized rectangle.

Thanks for any help.
