### Install from GitHub repo (Require C++ compiler):

```
pip install git+https://github.com/rathaROG/lapx.git
```

### Build and install (Require C++ compiler):

## 🧪 Usage

`lapx` is just the name for package distribution. The same as `lap`, use `import lap` to import; for example:

```
import lap
import numpy as np
print(lap.lapjv(np.random.rand(4, 5), extend_cost=True))
```

Tomas Kazmar's [`gatagat/lap`](https://github.com/gatagat/lap) is a [linear assignment problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_problem) solver using Jonker-Volgenant algorithm for dense LAPJV ¹ or sparse LAPMOD ² matrices. Both algorithms are implemented from scratch based solely on the papers ¹˒² and the public domain Pascal implementation provided by A. Volgenant ³. The LAPMOD implementation seems to be faster than the LAPJV implementation for matrices with a side of more than ~5000 and with less than 50% finite coefficients.

### `cost, x, y = lap.lapjv(C)`

The function `lapjv(C)` returns the assignment cost `cost` and two arrays `x` and `y`. If cost matrix `C` has shape NxM, then `x` is a size-N array specifying to which column is row is assigned, and `y` is a size-M array specifying to which row each column is assigned. For example, an output of `x = [1, 0]` indicates that row 0 is assigned to column 1 and row 1 is assigned to column 0. Similarly, an output of `x = [2, 1, 0]` indicates that row 0 is assigned to column 2, row 1 is assigned to column 1, and row 2 is assigned to column 0.

Note that this function *does not* return the assignment matrix (as done by scipy's [`linear_sum_assignment`](https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-0.18.1/reference/generated/scipy.optimize.linear_sum_assignment.html) and lapsolver's [`solve dense`](https://github.com/cheind/py-lapsolver)). The assignment matrix can be constructed from `x` as follows:
```
A = np.zeros((N, M))
for i in range(N):
    A[i, x[i]] = 1
```

Equivalently, we could construct the assignment matrix from `y`:
```
A = np.zeros((N, M))
for j in range(M):
    A[y[j], j] = 1
```

Finally, note that the outputs are redundant: we can construct `x` from `y`, and vise versa:
```
x = [np.where(y == i)[0][0] for i in range(N)]
y = [np.where(x == j)[0][0] for j in range(M)]
```
