A refinement of the termination tolerance

Reference no: EM131121974

(A Refinement of the Termination Tolerance) Show that the assignment obtained upon termination of the auction algorithm is within (n-1) of being optimal (rather than n). Also, for every n ≥ 2, construct an example of an assignment problem with integer data such that the auction algorithm terminates with a nonoptimal assignment when = 1/(n - 1). (Try first n = 2 and n = 3, and generalize.)
