Worked example of assigning tasks to an unequal number of workers using the Hungarian method. 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 ...

The linear function that we want to optimize (x 1 + x 2 in the above example) is called the objective function. A feasible solution is an assignment of values to the variables that satis es the inequalities. The value that the objective function gives to an assignment is called the cost of the assignment. For example, x 1:= 1 3 and x 2:= 1 3

A well-known method for linear assignment is the Hungarian algorithm [6, 7] which can obtain the optimal solution without an exhaustive search. However, its compu-tational complexity is extremely sensitive to the size of the problem. Consequently, using more elaborate heuristic or greedy strategies, several approximate algorithms in-

Assignment problem is a special type of linear programming problem which deals with the allocation of the various resources to the various activities on one to one basis.
