Probabilistic analysis of decentralized version of îne generalization of the assignment problem
Abstract:
A decentralized version of the Semi-Assignment problem is considered, when elements of$m\times n$ -matrix are nonnegative,$m=kn$ ,$k$ is natural number. It is supposed, that$nk$ elements of the matrix are chosen:$k$ elements in each column and one element in each row in order to maximize the total sum of chosen elements. An approximation algorithm with$O(mn)$ time complexity is presented. In the case of inputs, when elements are independent random values with common uniform distribution function, the estimations of a relative error and a fault probability of the algorithm are obtained, and conditions of asymptotic optimality are established.
