  • Incremental Assignment Problem
    Information Sciences, 2007
    Co-Authors: Ismail Hakki Toroslu, Göktürk íçoluk
    Abstract:

    In this paper we introduce the incremental Assignment Problem. In this Problem, a new pair of vertices and their incident edges are added to a weighted bipartite graph whose maximum-weighted matching is already known, and the maximum-weighted matching of the extended graph is sought. We propose an O(|V|^2) algorithm for the Problem.

  • personnel Assignment Problem with hierarchical ordering constraints
    Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2003
    Co-Authors: Ismail Hakki Toroslu
    Abstract:

    In the standard Assignment Problem, there is no constraint on the partitions of the bipartite graph. The only objective is to maximize the summation of the weights of the matched edges. Any node in one partition can be matched with any node in the other partition without any restriction. In this paper, we study a variation of the standard Assignment Problem, having some ordering constraints on the partitions of the bipartite graph. We call this Problem as 'Assignment Problem with hierarchical ordering constraint' (APHOC). As its name implies, hierarchical constraints are introduced on both partitions, and, the matching between the partitions should respect these hierarchical ordering constraints. A natural version of such constraints occurs in personnel Assignment Problem, where one of the partitions is a level graph representing the ranks of personnel, and the other one is a forest, representing the positions. We will first show that this Problem is NP-complete. Then, we will investigate some heuristic and approximate solutions. Finally, we will study the performances of these solutions.

  • An addendum on the incremental Assignment Problem
    Information Sciences, 2008
    Co-Authors: A. Volgenant
    Abstract:

    In Toroslu and Ucoluk [I.H. Toroslu, G. Ucoluk, Incremental Assignment Problem, Information Sciences 177 (2007) 1523-1529] the incremental Assignment Problem is defined as follows. A new pair of vertices and their incident edges are added to a weighted bipartite graph whose maximum-weighted matching is already known, and the maximum-weighted matching of the extended graph is sought. An O(n^2) algorithm for the Problem has been derived, with n the size of a partition in the bipartite graph. We point out that such a result can be found in literature.
