+N-dimensional assignment algorithms (4D and higher).
+
+This module extends the 3D assignment solver to arbitrary dimensions,
+enabling more complex assignment scenarios such as:
+- 4D: Measurements × Tracks × Hypotheses × Sensors
+- 5D+: Additional dimensions for time frames, maneuver classes, etc.
+
+The module provides a unified interface for solving high-dimensional
+assignment problems using generalized relaxation methods.
