Abstract: In this paper, the equilibrium optimization problem is proposed and the assignment problem is extended to the equilibrium multi-job assignment problem, equilibrium multi-job quadratic assignment problem and the minimum cost and equilibrium multi-job assignment problem. Furthermore, the mathematical models of the equilibrium multi-job assignment problem and the equilibrium multi-job quadratic assignment problem with fuzzy parameters are formulated. Finally, a genetic algorithm is designed for solving the proposed programming models and some numerical examples are given to verify the efficiency of the designed algorithm.

Similarity of edge labeled graphs is considered in the sense of minimum squared distance between corresponding values. Vertex correspondences are established by isomorphisms if both graphs are of equal size and by subisomorphisms if one graph has fewer vertices than the other. Best fit isomorphisms and subisomorphisms amount to solutions of quadratic assignment problems and are computed exactly as well as approximately by minimum cost flow, linear assignment relaxations and related graph algorithms.

Abstract: The assignment problem is to find the total costs optimal jobs assignment schedule where n jobs are allocated to n workers, and each worker receives exactly just one job, such that the total cost is optimal. The quadratic assignment problem with penalty takes three types of costs into consideration: direct cost, interactive cost an penalty. In this paper, the fuzzy quadratic assignment problem with penalty is formulated as expected value model, chance-constrained programming and dependent-chance programming according to various decision criteria, and the crisp equivalents are given. Furthermore, hybrid genetic algorithm is designed for solving the proposed fuzzy programming models. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
