This paper describes a simple calculation for the assignment and transportation problems which is "dual to" the well-known Hungarian Method. While the Hungarian is a dual method, this method is primal ...

An example of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is the facility location problem, in which n facilities are assigned, at minimum cost, to n sites. Between each pair of facilities, there is a ...

Discrete combinatorial optimization has a central role in many scientific disciplines, however, for hard problems we lack linear time algorithms that would allow us to solve very large instances.
