Show

Bipartite graph

Graph with 2 groups; edges only connect different groups

Complete bipartite graph

Every vertex in one group connects to all in other group

Allocation problem

Matching items from one group to items in another group

Cost matrix

Table showing cost of each allocation between two groups

Hungarian algorithm purpose

Find optimal allocation to minimise total cost

Hungarian algorithm Step 1

Subtract smallest value in each row from all values in row

Hungarian algorithm Step 3

Subtract smallest value in column from column (if no zero)

Hungarian Step 5a: smallest uncovered value operation

Add to cells with 2 lines; subtract from uncovered cells

Matrix for final cost calculation in Hungarian algorithm

Original cost matrix, not transformed matrix

Method for simple allocation problems

Identify forced assignments (one edge) and use elimination
