| Abstract: | A branch-and-bound algorithm is defined for solving assignment problems with side constraints /APSC/ to optimality. The algorithm employs a depth-first, polychotomous branching strategy in conjunction with a bounding procedure that utilizes subgradient optimalization. A heuristic procedure is also provided for obtaining approximate solutions to APSC. The heuristic uses subgradient optimalization to guide the search for a good solution quality. Computational experience is presented with both procedures,applied to over 400 test problems. The algorithm is demonstrated to be effective across three different classes of resource-constrained assignment scheduling problems. |
