Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

An Φ-function for two non-oriented convex polytopes is set up. The Φ-function can be used to construct a mathematical model of packing optimization problem for non-oriented polytopes. An example of an Φ-function for two non-oriented parallelepipeds is given.
