We consider a variant of the multidimensional assignment problem (MAP) with decomposable costs in which the resulting optimal assignment is described as a set of disjoint stars. This problem arises in the context of multi-sensor multi-target tracking problems, where a set of measurements,...

In this paper, we consider two decomposition schemes for the graph theoretical description of the axial Multidimensional Assignment Problem (MAP). The problem is defined as finding n disjoint cliques of size m with minimum total cost in K <Subscript> m×n </Subscript>, which is an m-partite graph with n elements per...</subscript>
