hBcnorm regularization algorithms for optimization over permutation matrices
Optimization problems over permutation matrices appear widely in facility layout, chip design, scheduling, pattern recognition, computer vision, graph matching, etc. Since this problem is NP-hard due to the combinatorial nature of permutation matrices, we relax the variable to be the more tractable doubly stochastic matrices and add an $L_p$-norm ($0 < p < 1$) regularization ...
