您可以使用最低费用流求解器解决分配问题的特殊情况。
事实上，最低成本流通常可以比 MIP 或 CP-SAT 求解器更快地返回解决方案。不过，MIP 和 CP-SAT 可以解决比最低成本流涉及的更多问题，因此在大多数情况下，MIP 或 CP-SAT 是最佳选择。
以下各部分介绍了一些 Python 程序，这些程序使用最低成本流求解器解决以下赋值问题：
线性分配示例
本节介绍如何将线性分配求解器部分所述的示例作为最低费用流问题进行解决。
导入库
以下代码会导入所需的库。
Python

声明求解器
以下代码会创建最小成本流求解器。
Python
# Instantiate a SimpleMinCostFlow solver. smcf = min_cost_flow.SimpleMinCostFlow()
C++
// Instantiate a SimpleMinCostFlow solver. SimpleMinCostFlow min_cost_flow;

创建数据
该问题的流程图由费用矩阵的二分体图组成（请参阅分配概览，查看略有不同的示例），并添加了来源和接收器。
数据包含以下四个数组，分别对应于问题的起始节点、结束节点、容量和费用。每个数组的长度都是图中的弧数。

为了清楚说明数据的设置方式，每个数组都分为三个子数组：
- 第一个数组对应于延伸出来源的弧线。
- 第二个数组对应于工作器和任务之间的弧线。对于
costs，这只是费用矩阵（供线性赋值求解器使用），并扁平化为向量。 - 第三个数组对应于通向接收器的弧线。
该数据还包含矢量 supplies，它会提供每个节点的供应。
最低费用流问题如何表示分配问题
上述最低费用流问题如何表示分配问题？首先，由于每条弧的容量为 1，来源提供的 4 会迫使通向工作器的四个弧线中的每条弧线形成 1 的流。
接下来，流入等于流出条件将流出每个工作器的数据流强制为 1。如果可能，求解器将引导该流程离开每个工作器的最小成本弧线。但是，求解器无法将来自两个不同工作器的流定向到单个任务。如果确实如此，则该任务的合并流程为 2，该流程无法通过容量为 1 的单弧从任务发送到接收器。这意味着求解器只能根据分配问题的要求将任务分配给单个工作器。
最后，流入等于流出条件强制每个任务的流出为 1，这样每个任务都由某个工作器执行。
创建图表和限制条件
以下代码会创建图表和约束条件。
Python
# Add each arc.
for i in range(len(start_nodes)):
smcf.add_arc_with_capacity_and_unit_cost(
start_nodes[i], end_nodes[i], capacities[i], costs[i]
)
# Add node supplies.
for i in range(len(supplies)):
smcf.set_node_supply(i, supplies[i])
C++
// Add each arc.
for (int i = 0; i < start_nodes.size(); ++i) {
int arc = min_cost_flow.AddArcWithCapacityAndUnitCost(
start_nodes[i], end_nodes[i], capacities[i], unit_costs[i]);
if (arc != i) LOG(FATAL) << "Internal error";
}
// Add node supplies.
for (int i = 0; i < supplies.size(); ++i) {
min_cost_flow.SetNodeSupply(i, supplies[i]);
}
Java
// Add each arc.
for (int i = 0; i < startNodes.length; ++i) {
int arc = minCostFlow.addArcWithCapacityAndUnitCost(
startNodes[i], endNodes[i], capacities[i], unitCosts[i]);
if (arc != i) {
throw new Exception("Internal error");
}
}
// Add node supplies.
for (int i = 0; i < supplies.length; ++i) {
minCostFlow.setNodeSupply(i, supplies[i]);
}
C#
// Add each arc.
for (int i = 0; i < startNodes.Length; ++i)
{
int arc =
minCostFlow.AddArcWithCapacityAndUnitCost(startNodes[i], endNodes[i], capacities[i], unitCosts[i]);
if (arc != i)
throw new Exception("Internal error");
}
// Add node supplies.
for (int i = 0; i < supplies.Length; ++i)
{
minCostFlow.SetNodeSupply(i, supplies[i]);
}
调用求解器
以下代码会调用求解器并显示解。
Python
# Find the minimum cost flow between node 0 and node 10. status = smcf.solve()
C++
// Find the min cost flow. int status = min_cost_flow.Solve();
Java
// Find the min cost flow. MinCostFlowBase.Status status = minCostFlow.solve();
C#
// Find the min cost flow. MinCostFlow.Status status = minCostFlow.Solve();
此解由工作器和任务之间的弧线组成，求解器为其分配流的值为 1。（连接到来源或接收器的弧线不属于解决方案的一部分。）
程序会检查每条弧形以了解它是否有流 1，如果有，则输出该弧形的 Tail（起始节点）和 Head（结束节点），它们对应于分配中的工作器和任务。

以下是程序的输出。

结果与线性赋值求解器的结果相同（工作器数量和费用不同除外）。线性赋值求解器的运行速度比最小成本流略快 - 0.000147 秒，而非 0.000458 秒。

与员工团队进行分配
本部分将介绍一个更常见的分配问题。在此问题中，6 个工作器分为两个团队。问题是为工作器分配四项任务，使工作负载在团队之间均衡平衡，也就是说，每个团队执行其中两项任务。
如需解决此问题的 MIP 求解器解决方案，请参阅通过工作器团队分配。
以下部分介绍了使用最低成本流求解器解决问题的程序。

工作器对应于节点 1 - 6。团队 A 由工作器 1、3 和 5 组成，团队 B 由工作器 2、4 和 6 组成。任务编号为 7 - 10。
来源和工作器之间有两个新节点：11 和 12。节点 11 连接到团队 A 的节点，节点 12 连接到团队 B 的节点，弧形容量为 1。下图仅显示从来源到工作器的节点和弧线。
平衡工作负载的关键在于，来源 0 通过容量 2 的弧线连接到节点 11 和 12。这意味着节点 11 和 12（以及团队 A 和 B）的最大流可以为 2。因此，每个团队最多只能执行两项任务。

向团队 A 分配了任务 9 和 10，向团队 B 分配了任务 7 和 8。
请注意，对于此问题，最小成本流求解器比 MIP 求解器（大约需要 0.006 秒）更快。
