These costs may vary based on the assignment of agent to a combination of job characteristics - specific task, machine, time interval, etc. The problem is to minimize the total cost of assigning the agents so that the assignment of agents to each job characteristic is an injective function , or one-to-one function from agents to a given job ...
A minimum spanning tree of a weighted planar graph.Finding a minimum spanning tree is a common problem involving combinatorial optimization. Combinatorial optimization is a subfield of mathematical optimization that consists of finding an optimal object from a finite set of objects, [1] where the set of feasible solutions is discrete or can be reduced to a discrete set.
The assignment problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization problem. In its most general form, the problem is as follows: The problem instance has a number of agents and a number of tasks. Any agent can be assigned to perform any task, incurring some cost that may vary depending on the agent-task assignment.
Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal and an official publication of the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering. It is published by Springer Science+Business Media. [1] It covers research in biomedical engineering and bioengineering.
Computational Optimization and Applications is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by Springer Science+Business Media. The journal focuses on the analysis and development of computational algorithms and modeling technology for optimization .
The Fano matroid, derived from the Fano plane.Matroids are one of many kinds of objects studied in algebraic combinatorics. Algebraic combinatorics is an area of mathematics that employs methods of abstract algebra, notably group theory and representation theory, in various combinatorial contexts and, conversely, applies combinatorial techniques to problems in algebra.

As an illustrative example of how QUBO can be used to encode an optimization problem, we consider the problem of cluster analysis. Here, we are given a set of 20 points in 2D space, described by a matrix D ∈ R 20 × 2 {\displaystyle D\in \mathbb {R} ^{20\times 2}} , where each row contains two cartesian coordinates .
