/**
 *  The {@code AssignmentProblem} class represents a data type for computing
 *  an optimal solution to an <em>n</em>-by-<em>n</em> <em>assignment problem</em>.
 *  The assignment problem is to find a minimum weight matching in an
 *  edge-weighted complete bipartite graph.
 *  <p>
 *  The data type supplies methods for determining the optimal solution
 *  and the corresponding dual solution.
 *  <p>
 *  This implementation uses the <em>successive shortest paths algorithm</em>.
 *  The order of growth of the running time in the worst case is
 *  O(<em>n</em>^3 log <em>n</em>) to solve an <em>n</em>-by-<em>n</em>
 *  instance.
 *  <p>
 *  This computes correct results if all arithmetic performed is
 *  without floating-point rounding error or arithmetic overflow.
 *  This is the case if all edge weights are integers and if none of the
 *  intermediate results exceeds 2<sup>52</sup>.
 *  <p>
