Quadratic assignment solves problems of the following form: .. math:: \min_P & \ {\ \text{trace}(A^T P B P^T)}\\ \mbox{s.t. } & {P \ \epsilon \ \mathcal{P}}\\ where :math:`\mathcal{P}` is the set of all permutation matrices, and :math:`A` and :math:`B` are square matrices. Graph matching tries to *maximize* the same objective function. This algorithm can be thought of as finding the alignment of the nodes of two graphs that minimizes the number of induced edge disagreements, or, in the case of weighted graphs, the sum of squared edge weight differences. Note that the quadratic assignment problem is NP-hard. The results given here are approximations and are not guaranteed to be optimal. Parameters ---------- A : 2-D array, square The square matrix :math:`A` in the objective function above. B : 2-D array, square The square matrix :math:`B` in the objective function above. method : str in {'faq', '2opt'} (default: 'faq') The algorithm used to solve the problem. :ref:`'faq' ` (default) and :ref:`'2opt' ` are available. options : dict, optional A dictionary of solver options. All solvers support the following: maximize : bool (default: False) Maximizes the objective function if ``True``. partial_match : 2-D array of integers, optional (default: None) Fixes part of the matching. Also known as a "seed" [2]_. Each row of `partial_match` specifies a pair of matched nodes: node ``partial_match[i, 0]`` of `A` is matched to node ``partial_match[i, 1]`` of `B`. The array has shape ``(m, 2)``, where ``m`` is not greater than the number of nodes, :math:`n`. rng : {None, int, `numpy.random.Generator`, `numpy.random.RandomState`}, optional If `seed` is None (or `np.random`), the `numpy.random.RandomState` singleton is used. If `seed` is an int, a new ``RandomState`` instance is used, seeded with `seed`. If `seed` is already a ``Generator`` or ``RandomState`` instance then that instance is used. For method-specific options, see :func:`show_options('quadratic_assignment') `. Returns ------- res : OptimizeResult `OptimizeResult` containing the following fields. col_ind : 1-D array Column indices corresponding to the best permutation found of the nodes of `B`. fun : float The objective value of the solution. nit : int The number of iterations performed during optimization. Notes ----- The default method :ref:`'faq' ` uses the Fast Approximate QAP algorithm [1]_; it typically offers the best combination of speed and accuracy. Method :ref:`'2opt' ` can be computationally expensive, but may be a useful alternative, or it can be used to refine the solution returned by another method. References ---------- .. [1] J.T.

This function solves the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) and the Graph Matching Problem (GMP) using the Fast Approximate QAP Algorithm (FAQ) [1]_. Quadratic assignment solves problems of the following form: .. math:: \min_P & \ {\ \text{trace}(A^T P B P^T)}\\ \mbox{s.t. } & {P \ \epsilon \ \mathcal{P}}\\ where :math:`\mathcal{P}` is the set of all permutation matrices, and :math:`A` and :math:`B` are square matrices.

Note that the quadratic assignment problem is NP-hard. The results given here are approximations and are not guaranteed to be optimal. Parameters ---------- A : 2-D array, square The square matrix :math:`A` in the objective function above. B : 2-D array, square The square matrix :math:`B` in the objective function above. method : str in {'faq', '2opt'} (default: 'faq') The algorithm used to solve the problem. This is the method-specific documentation for 'faq'. :ref:`'2opt' ` is also available. Options ------- maximize : bool (default: False) Maximizes the objective function if ``True``. partial_match : 2-D array of integers, optional (default: None) Fixes part of the matching. Also known as a "seed" [2]_. Each row of `partial_match` specifies a pair of matched nodes: node ``partial_match[i, 0]`` of `A` is matched to node ``partial_match[i, 1]`` of `B`. The array has shape ``(m, 2)``, where ``m`` is not greater than the number of nodes, :math:`n`. rng : {None, int, `numpy.random.Generator`, `numpy.random.RandomState`}, optional If `seed` is None (or `np.random`), the `numpy.random.RandomState` singleton is used. If `seed` is an int, a new ``RandomState`` instance is used, seeded with `seed`. If `seed` is already a ``Generator`` or ``RandomState`` instance then that instance is used. P0 : 2-D array, "barycenter", or "randomized" (default: "barycenter") Initial position. Must be a doubly-stochastic matrix [3]_. If the initial position is an array, it must be a doubly stochastic matrix of size :math:`m' \times m'` where :math:`m' = n - m`. If ``"barycenter"`` (default), the initial position is the barycenter of the Birkhoff polytope (the space of doubly stochastic matrices). This is a :math:`m' \times m'` matrix with all entries equal to :math:`1 / m'`. If ``"randomized"`` the initial search position is :math:`P_0 = (J + K) / 2`, where :math:`J` is the barycenter and :math:`K` is a random doubly stochastic matrix. shuffle_input : bool (default: False) Set to `True` to resolve degenerate gradients randomly. For non-degenerate gradients this option has no effect. maxiter : int, positive (default: 30) Integer specifying the max number of Frank-Wolfe iterations performed. tol : float (default: 0.03) Tolerance for termination. Frank-Wolfe iteration terminates when :math:`\frac{||P_{i}-P_{i+1}||_F}{\sqrt{m')}} \leq tol`, where :math:`i` is the iteration number. Returns ------- res : OptimizeResult `OptimizeResult` containing the following fields. col_ind : 1-D array Column indices corresponding to the best permutation found of the nodes of `B`. fun : float The objective value of the solution. nit : int The number of Frank-Wolfe iterations performed. Notes ----- The algorithm may be sensitive to the initial permutation matrix (or search "position") due to the possibility of several local minima within the feasible region. A barycenter initialization is more likely to result in a better solution than a single random initialization. However, calling ``quadratic_assignment`` several times with different random initializations may result in a better optimum at the cost of longer total execution time. Examples -------- As mentioned above, a barycenter initialization often results in a better solution than a single random initialization. >>> from numpy.random import default_rng >>> rng = default_rng() >>> n = 15 >>> A = rng.random((n, n)) >>> B = rng.random((n, n)) >>> res = quadratic_assignment(A, B) # FAQ is default method >>> print(res.fun) 46.871483385480545 # may vary >>> options = {"P0": "randomized"} # use randomized initialization >>> res = quadratic_assignment(A, B, options=options) >>> print(res.fun) 47.224831071310625 # may vary However, consider running from several randomized initializations and keeping the best result. >>> res = min([quadratic_assignment(A, B, options=options) ... for i in range(30)], key=lambda x: x.fun) >>> print(res.fun) 46.671852533681516 # may vary The '2-opt' method can be used to further refine the results. >>> options = {"partial_guess": np.array([np.arange(n), res.col_ind]).T} >>> res = quadratic_assignment(A, B, method="2opt", options=options) >>> print(res.fun) 46.47160735721583 # may vary References ---------- ..
