Problem 42875. Assignment Problem
Given a matrix where row i corresponds to person i, and column j corresponds to task j and cell (i,j) corresponds to the time taken for person i to complete task j. Output an assignment array for the minimal time taken for all tasks.
For example, if presented with the following matrix:
x = [1,3,4,7; 2,3,1,3; 4,2,3,7; 6,4,2,2;]
Your output array would be:
a = [1,3,2,4].
Where person one is assigned to task one, person three is assigned to task two , person two is assigned to task three and person four is assigned to task four.
This gives us a total time of 1+1+2+2=6 which is minimal.

I think that ones(4) in Test #3 should be eye(4), instead. Also, #1 has to be fixed as Jan pointed out.
The corrections mentioned by Yuichi (and Jan) have been made.
Good problem.
How to proceed with larger matrix (where permutations are too expensive) ?
