a) You are given N tasks and M agents. Agent i can execute a fraction fij of task j in one hour. You have to assign tasks to agents to minimize the time T when all the jobs get completed. Formulate this as an LP. Prove that there exists an optimal solution with at most N+M pairs (i, j) such that agent i executes a non-zero amount of task j. For clarity, we use the following assumptions: - An agent can perform multiple tasks, but not simultaneously. Multiple agents can work on the same task at the same time, but an agent can only work one task at any given time T is the maximum of the times the agents finish their tasks. b) Reformulate the previous problem when the problem is to minimize the total cost incurred, assuming that agent i charges c; dollars per hour. Prove that there exists an optimal solution to your LP where there are at most N pairs (i, j) such that agent i executes task j. Does this offer any insight into easily computing an optimal solution without solving the LP?
