Dear R-experts, this is not a direct R-problem but I hope you can help me anyway.
I would like to minimize || PG-I || over P, where P is a p x p permutation matrix (obtained by permuting the rows and/or columns of the identity matrix), G is a given p x p matrix with full rank and I the identity matrix. ||.|| is the frobenius norm. Does anyone know an algorithm to solve such a problem? And if yes, is it implemented in R? Currently I minimize it by going through all possible permutations - but this is not feasible for higher dimensional problems as I would like to consider too. Any help is appreciated!
