Tóm tắt

The Gilmore-Lawler bound (GLB) is one of the well-known lower bound of quadratic assignment problem (QAP). Checking whether GLB is tight is an NP-complete problem. In this article, based on Xia and Yuan linearization technique, we provide an upper bound of the complexity of this problem, which makes it pseudo-polynomial solvable. We also pseudopolynomially solve a class of QAP whose GLB is equal to the optimal objective function value, which was shown to remain NP-hard.
