In this article we review some properties suggested in the literature for the minimization of open stacks problem that can be used in pre-processing operations to reduce the instances sizes. We also present a new pre-processing technique that may be very effective in reducing the size of an instance. We present computational tests with the suggested pre-processing operations applied on sets of MOSP instances of the literature and we show that the reductions obtained can be significant. %@mirrorrepository sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19@80/2009/08.21.17.02.53 %8 June %N 3 %T The minimization of open stacks problem: A review of some properties and their use in pre-processing operations %@secondarytype PRE PI %K Combinatorial optimization, Minimization of open stack problem, Pre-processing, Size reduction. %@group LAC-CTE-INPE-MCT-BR %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m19@80/2009/12.09.13.06.42 %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho.
