PDF Sensitivity Analysis for Bottleneck Assignment Problems
In this sensitivity analysis, we provide a sufficient but not necessary condition for the invariance of the optimal assignment, in the form of an interval test. n×m Let Λ ⊆ R be an n × m array of intervals over the extended reals. For each edge e ∈ E, let [−λe, λe] be the interval corresponding to edge e. Remark 1.
Linear bottleneck assignment problem
The term "bottleneck" is explained by a common type of application of the problem, where the cost is the duration of the task performed by an agent. In this setting the "maximum cost" is "maximum duration", which is the bottleneck for the schedule of the overall job, to be minimized. ... The formal definition of the bottleneck assignment ...

Sensitivity analysis for bottleneck assignment problems
Bottleneck assignment sensitivity. In this section we solve Problem 1 by providing Algorithm 2 to construct Λ * = lexmax ( L 0 ∩ L A). In the previous section, we were able to separate the construction of the exclusive set from the construction of the intervals. However, for Problem 1, we must construct them simultaneously.
PDF The Multi-level Bottleneck Assignment Problem: Complexity and Solution
This problem is known as the multi-level bottleneck assignment problem (MBA). It is often seen through the lens of column permutation in a matrix (under constraints), such that the maximum row sum is minimized. For the sake of clarity, since we discuss col-umn generation based algorithms in Section 3, we stick to the convention of sets and
Uncertain random quadratic bottleneck assignment problem
Uncertain random expected value simulation is one of the most important techniques to solve uncertain random optimization problems where random variables coexist with uncertain variables. A general simulation algorithm is designed to estimate the uncertain random expected value. Furthermore, an uncertain random quadratic bottleneck assignment problem is proposed and an uncertain random ...

A turnpike approach to solving the linear bottleneck assignment problem
The linear bottleneck assignment problem (LBAP), which is a variation of the classical assignment problem (CAP), seeks to minimize the longest completion time rather than the sum of the completion times when a number of jobs are to be assigned to the same number of workers. Several procedures have been proposed in the current literature to convert the LBAP into an equivalent CAP and then apply ...
Assignment Problems
Assignment problems deal with the question of how to assign other items (machines, tasks). There are different ways in mathematics to describe an assignment: we can view an assignment as a bijective mapping φ between two finite sets . We can write a permutation φ as 12…nφ (1)φ (2)…φ (n), which means that 1 is mapped to φ (1), 2 is ...

Bottleneck generalized assignment problems
A variety of well-known facility location and location-allocation models are shown to be equivalent to, and therefore solvable as, generalized assignment problems GAP's and it is shown how certain types of constraints limiting the site and capacity combinations allowed can be incorporated into these models through their treatment as GAPs.

In this paper, a new approach for solving the bottleneck assignment problem is presented. The problem is treated as a special class of permutation problems which we call max-min permutation problems. By defining a suitable neighborhood system in the space of permutations and designating certain permutations as critical solutions, it is shown that any critical solution yields a global optimum ...

A survey for the quadratic assignment problem
The quadratic bottleneck assignment problem (QBAP) Steinberg (1961) considered QBAP a variation of QAP with applications to backboard wiring.

Generalized Assignment Problem
The generalized assignment problem (GAP) seeks the minimum cost assignment of n tasks to m agents such that each task is assigned to precisely one agent subject to capacity restrictions on the agents. The formulation of the problem is: where \ ( c_ {ij} \) is the cost of assigning task j to agent i , \ ( a_ {ij} \) is the capacity used when ...
