def linear_sum_assignment(cost_matrix):
"""Solve the linear sum assignment problem.
The linear sum assignment problem is also known as minimum weight matching
in bipartite graphs. A problem instance is described by a matrix C, where
each C[i,j] is the cost of matching vertex i of the first partite set
(a "worker") and vertex j of the second set (a "job"). The goal is to find
a complete assignment of workers to jobs of minimal cost.
Formally, let X be a boolean matrix where :math:`X[i,j] = 1` iff row i is
assigned to column j. Then the optimal assignment has cost
.. math::
\\min \\sum_i \\sum_j C_{i,j} X_{i,j}
s.t. each row is assignment to at most one column, and each column to at
most one row.
This function can also solve a generalization of the classic assignment
problem where the cost matrix is rectangular. If it has more rows than
columns, then not every row needs to be assigned to a column, and vice
versa.
The method used is the Hungarian algorithm, also known as the Munkres or
Kuhn-Munkres algorithm.
Parameters
----------
cost_matrix : array
The cost matrix of the bipartite graph.
Returns
-------
row_ind, col_ind : array
An array of row indices and one of corresponding column indices giving
the optimal assignment. The cost of the assignment can be computed
as ``cost_matrix[row_ind, col_ind].sum()``. The row indices will be
sorted; in the case of a square cost matrix they will be equal to
``numpy.arange(cost_matrix.shape[0])``.
Notes
-----
.. versionadded:: 0.17.0
Examples
--------
>>> cost = np.array([[4, 1, 3], [2, 0, 5], [3, 2, 2]])
>>> from scipy.optimize import linear_sum_assignment
>>> row_ind, col_ind = linear_sum_assignment(cost)
>>> col_ind
array([1, 0, 2])
>>> cost[row_ind, col_ind].sum()
