Harold W. Kuhn
Harold William Kuhn (July 29, 1925 – July 2, 2014) was an American mathematician who studied game theory. He won the 1980 John von Neumann Theory Prize jointly with David Gale and Albert W. Tucker. A former Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Princeton University, he is known for the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions, for Kuhn's theorem, and for developing Kuhn poker. He described the Hungarian method for the assignment problem, but a paper by Carl Gustav Jacobi, published posthumously in 1890 in Latin, was later discovered that had described the Hungarian method a century before Kuhn. Life Kuhn was born in Santa Monica in 1925. He is known for his association with John Forbes Nash, as a fellow graduate student, a lifelong friend and colleague, and a key figure in getting Nash the attention of the Nobel Prize committee that led to Nash's 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics. Kuhn and Nash both had long associations and collaborations with Albert W. Tucker, who was Nash's d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Assignment Problem
The assignment problem is a fundamental combinatorial optimization problem. In its most general form, the problem is as follows: :The problem instance has a number of ''agents'' and a number of ''tasks''. Any agent can be assigned to perform any task, incurring some ''cost'' that may vary depending on the agent-task assignment. It is required to perform as many tasks as possible by assigning at most one agent to each task and at most one task to each agent, in such a way that the ''total cost'' of the assignment is minimized. Alternatively, describing the problem using graph theory: :The assignment problem consists of finding, in a weighted graph, weighted bipartite graph, a Matching (graph theory), matching of maximum size, in which the sum of weights of the edges is minimum. If the numbers of agents and tasks are equal, then the problem is called balanced assignment, and the graph-theoretic version is called minimum-cost perfect matching. Otherwise, it is called unbalanced assig ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
