The choice of a function to be optimized is unambiguous in the ordinary assignment model. In the stochastic assignment model there is no clear choice of functional. Six different criteria for the ...

Motivation for Research: Large combinatorial optimization problems involve an exponentially growing decision space, where finding a good solution often becomes extremely difficult using traditional ...

This work pleads for the use of the concept of strategies, and their network-theoretic representation as hyperpaths, for modeling network assignment problems. While this concept describes adequately ...
