| Abstract: | We discuss two special cases of the three-dimensional bottleneck assignment problem where a certain underlying cost function satisfies the triangle inequality. We present polynomial time 2-approximation algorithms for the broadest class of these special cases, and we prove that (unless P = NP) this factor 2 is best possible even in the highly restricted setting of the Euclidean plane. |
