Quadratic Assignment Problems

Article Abstract:

Quadratic assignment programs (QAP) are surveyed. Several applications are considered, and mathematical formulations are featured. Precise solutions and positive heuristics are also featured. Recent findings in asymptotic probabilistic behavior are featured. It was recently discovered that QAP has an inherent difference of worst and best solutions which is small, with a probability learning toward one, while size goes toward infinity. Tables of asymptotic behavior data are featured, as are tables of comparison and simulation data and tables of running times of a branch and bound code.
