摘要:
The generalized assignment problem examines the maximum profit assignment of jobs to agents such that each job is assigned to precisely one agent subject to capacity restrictions on the agents. A new algorithm for the generalized assignment problem is presented that employs both column generation and branch-and-bound to obtain optimal integer solutions to a set partitioning formulation of the problem.
