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 ...

Interfaces, Vol. 20, No. 4, The Practice of Mathematical Programming (Jul. - Aug., 1990), pp. 133-149 (17 pages) The auction algorithm is an intuitive method for solving the classical assignment ...

The Berth Allocation Problem (BAP) is the problem of allocating berthing spaces and scheduling container vessels on these spaces so as to minimize total weighted time. We study a version of BAP in ...

Learn what is simulated annealing, how it works, and how to apply it to common linear programming problems in operations research.

This paper deals with solving large instances of the Linear Sum Assignment Problems (LSAPs) under realtime constraints, using Graphical Processing Units (GPUs). The motivating scenario is an ...
