Well-solvable cases of the QAP with block-structured matrices

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We investigate special cases of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) where one of the two underlying matrices carries a simple block structure. For the special case where the second underlying matrix is a monotone anti-Monge matrix, we derive a polynomial time result for a certain class of cut problems. For the special case where the second underlying matrix is a product matrix, we identify two sets of conditions on the block structure that make this QAP polynomially solvable respectively NP-hard.
