Abstract
We consider multi-dimensional assignment problems in a probabilistic setting. Our main results are: (i) A new efficient algorithm for the 3-dimensional planar problem, based on enumerating and selecting from a set of "alternating-path trees"; (ii) A new efficient matching-based algorithm for the 3-dimensional axial problem.
