Robust Assignments via Ear Decompositions and Randomized Rounding

Abstract
Many real-life planning problems require making a priori decisions before all parameters of the problem have been revealed. An important special case of such problem arises in scheduling and transshipment problems, where a set of jobs needs to be assigned to the available set of machines or personnel (resources), in a way that all jobs have assigned resources, and no two jobs share the same resource. In its nominal form, the resulting computational problem becomes the assignment problem. This paper deals with the Robust Assignment Problem (RAP) which models situations in which certain assignments are vulnerable and may become unavailable after the solution has been chosen. The goal is to choose a minimum-cost collection of assignments (edges in the corresponding bipartite graph) so that if any vulnerable edge becomes unavailable, the remaining part of the solution contains an assignment of all jobs. We develop algorithms and hardness results for RAP and establish several connections to well-known concepts from matching theory, robust optimization, LP-based techniques and combinations thereof.
