Letter to the Editor—An Algorithm for Ranking all the Assignments in Order of Increasing Cost

Murty, Katta G.·1968·Operations Research

Abstract

The Hungarian method gives an efficient algorithm for finding the minimal cost assignment. However, in some cases it may be useful to determine the second minimal assignment (i.e., the best assignment after excluding the minimal cost assignment) and in general the kth minimal assignment for k = 1, 2, …. These things can easily be determined if all the assignments can be arranged as a sequence in increasing order of cost. This paper describes an efficient algorithm for such a ranking of all the assignments. The maximum computational effort required to generate an additional assignment in the sequence is that of solving at most (n − 1) different assignment problems, one each of sizes 2, 3, …, n.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
