Fonction linear_sum_assignment - module scipy.optimize

Signature de la fonction linear_sum_assignment

def linear_sum_assignment(cost_matrix, maximize=False) 

Description

linear_sum_assignment.__doc__

Solve the linear sum assignment problem.

    Parameters
    ----------
    cost_matrix : array
        The cost matrix of the bipartite graph.

    maximize : bool (default: False)
        Calculates a maximum weight matching if true.

    Returns
    -------
    row_ind, col_ind : array
        An array of row indices and one of corresponding column indices giving
        the optimal assignment. The cost of the assignment can be computed
        as ``cost_matrix[row_ind, col_ind].sum()``. The row indices will be
        sorted; in the case of a square cost matrix they will be equal to
        ``numpy.arange(cost_matrix.shape[0])``.

    Notes
    -----

    The linear sum assignment problem [1]_ is also known as minimum weight
    matching in bipartite graphs. A problem instance is described by a matrix
    C, where each C[i,j] is the cost of matching vertex i of the first partite
    set (a "worker") and vertex j of the second set (a "job"). The goal is to
    find a complete assignment of workers to jobs of minimal cost.

    Formally, let X be a boolean matrix where :math:`X[i,j] = 1` iff row i is
    assigned to column j. Then the optimal assignment has cost

    .. math::
        \min \sum_i \sum_j C_{i,j} X_{i,j}

    where, in the case where the matrix X is square, each row is assigned to
    exactly one column, and each column to exactly one row.

    This function can also solve a generalization of the classic assignment
    problem where the cost matrix is rectangular. If it has more rows than
    columns, then not every row needs to be assigned to a column, and vice
    versa.

    This implementation is a modified Jonker-Volgenant algorithm with no
    initialization, described in ref. [2]_.
