Alice: Task 1 = 1, Task 2 = 2. George: Task 1 = 5, Task 2 = 8. The greedy algorithm would assign Task 1 to Alice and Task 2 to George, for a total cost of 9; but the reverse assignment has a total cost of 7. Fortunately, there are many algorithms for finding the optimal assignment in time polynomial in n.
Generalized assignment problem; Integer programming. The variant where variables are required to be 0 or 1, called zero-one linear programming, and several other variants are also NP-complete [2] [3]: MP1 Some problems related to Job-shop scheduling; Knapsack problem, quadratic knapsack problem, and several variants [2] [3]: MP9
Aspvall, Plass & Tarjan (1979) found a simpler linear time procedure for solving 2-satisfiability instances, based on the notion of strongly connected components from graph theory. [4] Two vertices in a directed graph are said to be strongly connected to each other if there is a directed path from one to the other and vice versa.
The Hungarian method is a combinatorial optimization algorithm that solves the assignment problem in polynomial time and which anticipated later primal–dual methods.It was developed and published in 1955 by Harold Kuhn, who gave it the name "Hungarian method" because the algorithm was largely based on the earlier works of two Hungarian mathematicians, Dénes Kőnig and Jenő Egerváry.
perfectly tipped me off to the theme, and I enjoyed uncovering each theme answer. Congratulations to Brian Callahan making a USA TODAY crossword debut! Thank you, Brian, for this delightful puzzle.
It maintains a partial assignment of the variables. Initially, all variables are unassigned. At each step, a variable is chosen, and all possible values are assigned to it in turn. For each value, the consistency of the partial assignment with the constraints is checked; in case of consistency, a recursive call is performed. When all values ...
