If number of rows is not equal to number of columns, then add dummy rows or columns with cost 0, to make it a square matrix. | |
a. Identify the minimum element in each row and subtract it from each element of that row. b. Identify the minimum element in each column and subtract it from every element of that column. | |
Make assignment in the opporunity cost table a. Identify rows with exactly one unmarked 0. Make an assignmment to this single 0 by make a square ( [0] ) around it and cross off all other 0 in the same column. b. Identify columns with exactly one unmarked 0. Make an assignmment to this single 0 by make a square ( [0] ) around it and cross off all other 0 in the same rows. c. If a row and/or column has two or more unmarked 0 and one cannot be chosen by inspection, then choose the cell arbitarily. d. Continue this process until all 0 in rows/columns are either assigned or cross off( | |
(a) If the number of assigned cells = the number of rows, then an optimal assignment is found and In case you have chosen a 0 cell arbitrarily, then there may be an alternate optimal solution exists. (b) If optimal solution is not optimal, then goto Step-5. | |
Draw a set of horizontal and vertical lines to cover all the 0 a. Tick(✓) mark all the rows in which no assigned 0. b. Examine Tick(✓) marked rows, If any 0 cell occurs in that row, then tick(✓) mark that column. c. Examine Tick(✓) marked columns, If any assigned 0 exists in that columns, then tick(✓) mark that row. d. Repeat this process until no more rows or columns can be marked. e. Draw a straight line for each unmarked rows and marked columns. f. If the number of lines is equal to the number of rows then the current solution is the optimal, otherwise goto step-6 | |
Develop the new revised opportunity cost table a. Select the minimum element, say k, from the cells not covered by any line, b. Subtract k from each element not covered by a line. c. Add k to each intersection element of two lines. | |
Repeat steps 3 to 6 until an optimal solution is arrived. |

The Hungarian method is a computational optimization technique that addresses the assignment problem in polynomial time and foreshadows following primal-dual alternatives. In 1955, Harold Kuhn used the term "Hungarian method" to honour two Hungarian mathematicians, Dénes Kőnig and Jenő Egerváry. Let's go through the steps of the Hungarian method with the help of a solved example.
The Hungarian algorithm, aka Munkres assignment algorithm, utilizes the following theorem for polynomial runtime complexity (worst case O(n 3)) and guaranteed optimality: If a number is added to or subtracted from all of the entries of any one row or column of a cost matrix, then an optimal assignment for the resulting cost matrix is also an ...
The Hungarian method is a combinatorial optimization algorithm that solves the assignment problem in polynomial time and which anticipated later primal-dual methods.It was developed and published in 1955 by Harold Kuhn, who gave it the name "Hungarian method" because the algorithm was largely based on the earlier works of two Hungarian mathematicians, Dénes Kőnig and Jenő Egerváry.
Hungarian method for assignment problem Step 1. Subtract the entries of each row by the row minimum. Step 2. Subtract the entries of each column by the column minimum. Step 3. Make an assignment to the zero entries in the resulting matrix. A = M 17 10 15 17 18 M 6 10 20 12 5 M 14 19 12 11 15 M 7 16 21 18 6 M −10
The matrix below shows the cost of assigning a certain worker to a certain job. The objective is to minimize the total cost of the assignment. Below we will explain the Hungarian algorithm using this example. Note that a general description of the algorithm can be found here. Step 1: Subtract row minima.
General description of the algorithm. This problem is known as the assignment problem. The assignment problem is a special case of the transportation problem, which in turn is a special case of the min-cost flow problem, so it can be solved using algorithms that solve the more general cases. Also, our problem is a special case of binary integer ...
In this lesson we learn what is an assignment problem and how we can solve it using the Hungarian method.
The assignment problem deals with assigning machines to tasks, workers to jobs, soccer players to positions, and so on. The goal is to determine the optimum assignment that, for example, minimizes the total cost or maximizes the team effectiveness. The assignment problem is a fundamental problem in the area of combinatorial optimization.
The Hungarian Method: The following algorithm applies the above theorem to a given n × n cost matrix to find an optimal assignment. Step 1. Subtract the smallest entry in each row from all the entries of its row. Step 2. Subtract the smallest entry in each column from all the entries of its column. Step 3.
The Hungarian algorithm can be seen as the Successive Shortest Path Algorithm, adapted for the assignment problem. Without going into the details, let's provide an intuition regarding the connection between them. The Successive Path algorithm uses a modified version of Johnson's algorithm as reweighting technique.
Example 1: Hungarian Method. The Funny Toys Company has four men available for work on four separate jobs. Only one man can work on any one job. The cost of assigning each man to each job is given in the following table. The objective is to assign men to jobs in such a way that the total cost of assignment is minimum. Job.
The Hungarian method is a combinatorial optimization algorithm which solves the assignment problem in polynomial time . Later it was discovered that it was a primal-dual Simplex method..

The Hungarian Method for Solving the Assignment Problem We're ready to state the Hungarian method now that we've seen a couple of examples. Initialize the algorithm: { Subtract the lowest row value from each row. { For each column, subtract the lowest value. Steps 1 and 2 create zeros to start the algorithm o .
THEOREM 4. There is an adequate budget and an assignment such that the total allotment of the budget equals the number of jobs assigned to qualified individuals. Since Theorem 3 implies that the assignment of Theorem 4 is optimal, we have provided the following answer to the Simple Assignment Problem: H. W. KUHN.
1. INTRODUCTION The Hungarian Method [ 11 is an algorithm for solving assignment problems that is based on the work of D. Konig and J. Egervgry. In one possible interpretation, an assignment problem asks for the best assignment of a set of persons to a set of jobs, where the feasible assignments are ranked by the total scores or ratings of the ...
Hungarian Algorithm Steps. To use the Hungarian Algorithm, we first arrange the activities and people in a matrix with rows being people, columns being activity, and entries being the costs. Once ...
THE HUNGARIAN METHOD FOR THE ASSIGNMENT. PROBLEM'. H. W. Kuhn. Bryn Y a w College. Assuming that numerical scores are available for the perform- ance of each of n persons on each of n jobs, the "assignment problem" is the quest for an assignment of persons to jobs so that the sum of the. n scores so obtained is as large as possible.
Hungarian Method is an efficient method for solving assignment problems. This method is based on the following principle: If a constant is added to, or subtracted from, every element of a row and/or a column of the given cost matrix of an assignment problem, the resulting assignment problem has the same optimal solution as the original problem.
The Hungarian method provides an efficient solution to assignment problems. But first, let's understand what an assignment problem is. Defining an Assignment Problem. An assignment problem is a type of transportation problem where the goal is to assign resources to tasks in such a way that the total cost of assignment is minimized or the total ...
