  2. Assignment problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_problem

    This is an unbalanced assignment problem. One way to solve it is to invent a fourth dummy task, perhaps called "sitting still doing nothing", with a cost of 0 for the taxi assigned to it. This reduces the problem to a balanced assignment problem, which can then be solved in the usual way and still give the best solution to the problem.

  3. Transportation theory (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportation_theory...

    In mathematics and economics, transportation theory or transport theory is a name given to the study of optimal transportation and allocation of resources. The problem was formalized by the French mathematician Gaspard Monge in 1781. [1] In the 1920s A.N. Tolstoi was one of the first to study the transportation problem mathematically.

  4. Multidimensional assignment problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional...

    This problem can be seen as a generalization of the linear assignment problem. [2] In words, the problem can be described as follows: An instance of the problem has a number of agents (i.e., cardinality parameter) and a number of job characteristics (i.e., dimensionality parameter) such as task, machine, time interval, etc. For example, an ...

  5. Orthogonal Procrustes problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_Procrustes_problem

    The orthogonal Procrustes problem [1] is a matrix approximation problem in linear algebra. In its classical form, one is given two matrices A {\displaystyle A} and B {\displaystyle B} and asked to find an orthogonal matrix Ω {\displaystyle \Omega } which most closely maps A {\displaystyle A} to B {\displaystyle B} .

  6. Vehicle routing problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_routing_problem

    Inventory Routing Problem (IRP): Vehicles are responsible for satisfying the demands in each delivery point [7] Multi-Depot Vehicle Routing Problem (MDVRP): Multiple depots exist from which vehicles can start and end. [8] Vehicle Routing Problem with Transfers (VRPWT): Goods can be transferred between vehicles at specially designated transfer hubs.

  7. Flow network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_network

    Each edge also has a cost. Often, flow conservation holds for all nodes in a circulation problem, and there is a connection from the sink back to the source. In this way, you can dictate the total flow with (,) and (,). The flow circulates through the network, hence the name of the problem.

  8. Bicycle and motorcycle dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle...

    The rear brake of an upright bicycle can only produce about 0.25 g (≈2.5 m/s 2) deceleration at best, [87] because of the decrease in normal force at the rear wheel as described above. All such bikes with only rear braking are subject to this limitation: for example, bikes with only a coaster brake , and fixed-gear bikes with no other braking ...

  9. Game balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_balance

    An unbalanced system represents wasted development resources at the very least, and at worst can undermine the game's entire ruleset by making important roles or tasks impossible to perform. [ 25 ] One balancing approach is to set strategies as the goal, so all offered strategies have roughly equal chances of success.
