An example of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) is the facility location problem, in which n facilities are assigned, at minimum cost, to n sites. Between each pair of facilities, there is a ...

can be solved by solving an equivalent linear complementarity problem when H is positive semidefinite. The approach is outlined in the discussion of the LCP subroutine in Chapter 17, "Language ...

An operations research technique that solves problems in which an optimal value is sought subject to specified constraints. Mathematical programming models include linear programming, quadratic ...
