  2. Unbalanced Assignment Problem

    Here we discuss how to convert an unbalanced assignment problem into a balanced one and further solve it.

  3. Assignment problem

    The assignment problem consists of finding, in a weighted bipartite graph, a matching of a given size, in which the sum of weights of the edges is minimum. If the numbers of agents and tasks are equal, then the problem is called balanced assignment. Otherwise, it is called unbalanced assignment. [ 1] If the total cost of the assignment for all ...

  4. An Alternative Approach for Solving Unbalanced Assignment Problems

    An Alternative Approach for Solving Unbalanced Assignment Problems Abdur Rashid Department of Mathematics, Jahangirnagar University, Savar, Dhaka-1342, Bangladesh. Abstract This paper is devoted to present a new approach to make an unbalanced assignment problem into a balanced one and a comparison is carried out with the existing methods.

    The typical textbook solution to the balanced assignment problem is then found using Kuhn's [3] Hungarian method. Problems in which there are more jobs than machines and more than one job can be ...

  6. Unbalanced Assignment Problem

    Example: Unbalanced Assignment Problem. Solution. Since the number of persons is less than the number of jobs, we introduce a dummy person (D) with zero values. The revised assignment problem is given below: Table. Now use the Hungarian method to obtain the optimal solution yourself. Ans. = 20 + 17 + 17 + 0 = 54.

  8. Unbalanced Assignment Problem

    Unbalanced Assignment problem is an assignment problem where the number of facilities is not equal to the number of jobs. To make unbalanced assignment problem, a balanced one, a dummy facility (s) or a dummy job (s) (as the case may be) is introduced with zero cost or time. Get Quantitative Techniques: Theory and Problems now with the O ...

  10. Solving the Unbalanced Assignment Problem: Simpler Is Better

    In Yadaiah and Haragopal [4], they use a different approach to solve the unbalanced assignment problem (see their paper for details). If there are n jobs to be assigned to m machines with n strictly greater than m, then they solve a series of k balanced assignment sub-problems each of size m by m where k is the floor (round down) of n/m.

  11. Linear assignment with non-perfect matching

    linear_sum_assignment() Supports unbalanced problems. Requires that a one-sided perfect matching exists (or else raises an exception). lapsolver: solve_dense() Supports unbalanced problems. Supports imperfect matching. ortools: LinearSumAssignment: Requires problem is balanced. Requires that a perfect matching exists (or else raises an exception).

  12. Problem 4 To make an unbalance assignment ... [FREE SOLUTION]

    \To convert an unbalanced assignment problem into a balanced one, dummy rows or columns filled with zeros are introduced until the number of tasks equals the number of workers. This does not affect the cost as the zero means no work done by the worker. 03 Deciding on Row or Column ...

    solving minimisation problems: Step 1:See whether number. f rows are equal to number of columns. If yes, problem is balanced one; if not, then add a Dummy Row or Column to make the problem a balanced one by allotting zero value to each cell of the D. mmy Row or Column, as the case may be.Step 2: Row Subtraction: Subtract the minimum element of.

  15. linear programming

    How can I balance the following assignment problem (where machines are to be assigned the jobs in optimal way such that the profit is maximized). Cost matrix is given in the problem. First step is to convert it into minimization problem by subtracting all the entries in the matrix from maximum value in the matrix.

    In this paper, we consider a variant of the classic Assignment Problem (AP), called the Balanced Assignment Problem (BAP) [].The BAP seeks to find an assignment solution which has the smallest value of max-min distance: the difference between the maximum assignment cost and the minimum one.However, by minimizing only the max-min distance, the total cost of the BAP solution is neglected and it ...

  21. Balanced and Unbalanced Transportation Problems

    Unbalanced Transportation Problem. Unbalanced transportation problem is defined as a situation in which supply and demand are not equal. A dummy row or a dummy column is added to this type of problem, depending on the necessity, to make it a balanced problem. The problem can then be addressed in the same way as the balanced problem.
