Linear assignment procedures
Article Abstract:
Combinatorial optimization problems such as the Traveling Salesman Problem and quadratic assignment can be made easier by the Linear Assignment Problem (LAP). There are several algorithms available for LAP and these include one that could be used with incomplete cost matrices. An LAP algorithm with bipartite matching in the first phase was also developed by Hao and Kocur which works faster on small cost range problems and slower on sparse problem instances and large cost ranges.

Solving the k-cardinality assignment problem by transformation
Article Abstract:
A transformation that enables to solve k-cardinality Linear Assignment Problem (k-LAP) and the group assignment problem by any standard linear assignment algorithm is discussed. The results suggest that the transformation approach is suited to solve the considered test problems within short computing times for the test instances.
