A new extended formulation of the Generalized Assignment Problem and
We present a new extended formulation of the Generalized Assignment Problem (GAP), that is a disaggregation of the traditional formulation. The disaggregated formulation consists of O( mn 2) variables and constraints, where m denotes the number of agents and n the number of jobs. In contrast, the traditional formulation consists of O(mn) variables and constraints.
Assessing a swarm-GAP based solution for the task allocation problem in

Using an enhanced integer NSGA-II for solving the multiobjective
The traditional Generalized Assignment Problem (GAP) problem consists of assigning n different tasks to m different agents, while minimizing a cost function. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure that each task is assigned to a single agent (indivisible task) and that the maximum resource capacity of the agents is honored. In this paper, the problem is extended to a bi-objective formulation ...

The Generalized Assignment Problem
The generalized assignment problem (GAP) asks to assign n clients to m servers in such a way that the assignment cost is minimized, provided that all clients are assigned to a server and that the capacity of each server is not exceeded. It is a problem that appears, by itself or as a subproblem, in a very high number of practical applications and has therefore been intensively studied.
