MATLAB Implementation of Hungarian Algorithm for Assignment Problems

Resource Overview

MATLAB program implementing the Hungarian Algorithm for solving assignment and allocation problems with optimized bipartite matching

Detailed Documentation

In this document, we present a highly useful tool for solving assignment problems using the Hungarian Algorithm. This classical algorithm efficiently solves maximum matching problems in bipartite graphs. Our implementation features a MATLAB-coded solution that constructs an optimal assignment matrix through iterative row and column reduction operations. The program employs key functions for cost matrix normalization and optimal matching identification using augmentation paths. Designed for seamless integration, our implementation runs directly in MATLAB environment and includes automated validation checks for input matrices. This tool significantly enhances workflow efficiency by automating complex assignment tasks, saving valuable computational time. We hope you find our program valuable for your daily analytical workflows and research applications.
