Abstract(in English) In the rectangle packing problem, a number of rectangles of arbitrary size are placed without overlapping within the smallest possible bounding box. The key issue for finding an optimal packing in the solution space is how to represent each instance of packings. Recently, a remarkable packing method has been invented on the basis of a novel representation of packing, called "sequence-pair". In this paper, a new approach is proposed to the rectangle packing by means of this sequence-pair. In our approach, a packing is derived by means of a simple geometrical scheme much faster than the existing method. A number of experimental results are also shown to demonstrate the practicability of the proposed approach.
