At the heart of many scientific conferences is the problem of matching submitted papers to suitable reviewers. Arriving at a good assignment is a major and important challenge fo...

In this paper we study the unrelated parallel machines problem where n independent jobs must be assigned to one out of m parallel machines and the processing time of each job di...
The rectangular assignment problem is a generalization of the linear assignment problem (LAP): one wants to assign a number of persons to a smaller number of jobs, minimizing the ...
We propose a multi-object multi-camera framework for tracking large numbers of tightly-spaced objects that rapidly move in three dimensions. We formulate the problem of finding co...

The Multidimensional Assignment Problem (MAP) is a higher-dimensional version of the Linear Assignment Problem that arises in the areas of data association, target tracking, resou...

: We prove the main conjecture of the paper "On the expected value of the minimum assignment" by Marshall W. Buck, Clara S. Chan, and David P. Robbins [Random Structures ...
The SQAP-polytope was associated to quadratic assignment problems with a certain symmetric objective function structure by Rijal (1995) and Padberg and Rijal (1996). We derive a te...
In K(n, n) with edges colored either red or blue, we show that the problem of finding a solution matching, a perfect matching consisting of exactly r red edges, and (n - r) blue e...
We consider the amount of communication required to verify the outcome of the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism: an efficient allocation together with incentivizing VCG paymen...
-- The Multi-Story Space Assignment Problem (MSAP) is an innovative formulation of the multi-story facility assignment problem that allows one to model the location of departments ...
