I have a problem formulation but it does not resemble the usual packing problem I find in the literature but it is a usual problem in the packing industry. I just do not know the name for it.
The problem formulation is as follows: Ich have a certain amount of objects with different weights (around 10000) and I want to pack them in boxes. The objective is that all boxes should have the same weight (at least within a predefined boundary). It is not mandatory that all objects are distributed.
How can I formulate this optimization problem and what algorithms may suitable to solve this problem? Is there a name for this problem in the literature?
