“…The following methods can be used to solve assignment problems: linear programming (Hungarian algorithm, simplex method), integer programming (Branchand-Bound method, Cutting-plane method) (Bowman et al, 2002;Flesch et al, 2003;Neogy et al, 2020;Torabi Yeganeh & Zegordi, 2020), ant colony (Dowsland & Thompson, 2008;Wang et al, 2009), genetic algorithm (Dey et al, 2019;Sahu & Tapadar, 2006), graphs colouring (Gozhyj et al, 2019;Monasson, 2004;Zais & Laguna, 2016), artificial neural networks (Philipsen & Stok, 1991;Zhu & Yang, 2006), heuristic methods (Wu & Sweeting, 1994).…”
