optimization: multiple assignment problem

It would be more clear if you tell, what you want to do instead of what you do not want to do. 

If you start with a usual cost matrix (whatever cost function you have) and you have to assign N to N this reduces to the well-known Munkre?s algorithm (see for example: http://gallery.rcpp.org/articles/minimal-assignment/). If you have to assign M to N, it is an extended version of the Munkre?s algorithm which has been covered by Bourgeois and Lassalle (1971). All this is graph theory.
