Abstract
Under mild conditions on the distribution functionF, we analyze the asymptotic behavior in expectation of the smallest order statistic, both for the case thatF is defined on (−∞, +∞) and for the case thatF is defined on (0, ∞). These results yield asymptotic estimates of the expected optiml value of the linear assignment problem under the assumption that the cost coefficients are independent random variables with distribution functionF.
