The Assignment Problem And A Suboptimal Solution Technique, William Barry Gregory
Masters Theses
"A technique is presented which finds a fast suboptimal solution to the assignment problem. This same technique is then applied to two large dynamic programming problems for which the optimal solution is not known. These examples illustrate how easily this technique can be applied and that it is better than most optimizing techniques because it is fast, cheap and only minor hand calculations are needed. The effect of different initial solutions and their value are compared and it is found that the initial solution is not as significant in a suboptimal technique as in an optimizing technique. The initial solution …
