The problem is [[NP-hard]], so there is no known [[algorithm]] for solving this problem in polynomial time, and even small instances may require long computation time. The [[Travelling salesman problem]] may be seen as a special case of QAP, if one assumes that the flows connect facilities only along a single ring, all flows have the same non-zero (constant) value. Many other problems of standard [[combinatorial optimization]] problems may be written in this form.
