Multi-agent scheduling on a single machine with max-form criteria

We consider multi-agent scheduling on a single machine, where the objective functions of the agents are of the max-form. For the feasibility model, we show that the problem can be solved in polynomial time even when the jobs are subject to precedence restrictions. For the minimality model, we show that the problem is strongly NP-hard in general, but can be solved in pseudo-polynomial-time when the number of agents is a given constant. We then identify some special cases of the minimality model that can be solved in polynomial-time.

Minimizing number of tardy jobs on a batch processing machine with incompatible job families

In this paper we consider the problem of minimizing number of tardy jobs on a single batch processing machine. The batch processing machine is capable of processing up to B jobs simultaneously as a batch. We are given a set of n jobs which can be partitioned into m incompatible families such that the processing times of all jobs belonging to the same family are equal and jobs of different families cannot be processed together. We show that this problem is NP-hard and present a dynamic programming algorithm which has polynomial time complexity when the number of job families and the batch machine capacity are fixed. We also show that when the jobs of a family have a common due date the problem can be solved by a pseudo-polynomial time procedure.     

A linear program for the two-hub location problem

This paper considers the discrete two-hub location problem. We need to choose two hubs from a set of nodes. The remaining nodes are to be connected to one of the two hubs which act as switching points for internodal flows. A configuration which minimizes the total flow cost needs to be found. We show that the problem can be solved in polynomial time when the hub locations are fixed. Since there are at most ways to choose the hub locations, the two-hub location problem can be solved in polynomial time. We transform the quadratic 0–1 integer program of the single allocation problem in the fixed two-hub system into a linear program and show that all extreme points of the polytope defined by the LP are integral. Also, the problem can be transformed into a minimum cut problem which can be solved efficiently by any polynomial time algorithm.     

Approximation schemes for job shop scheduling problems with controllable processing times

In this paper we study the job shop scheduling problem under the assumption that the jobs have controllable processing times. The fact that the jobs have controllable processing times means that it is possible to reduce the processing time of the jobs by paying a certain cost. We consider two models of controllable processing times: continuous and discrete. For both models we present polynomial time approximation schemes when the number of machines and the number of operations per job are fixed.     

Two-agent scheduling to minimize the total cost

Two agents, each having his own set of jobs, compete to perform their own jobs on a common processing resource. Each job of the agents has a weight that specifies its importance. The cost of the first agent is the maximum weighted completion time of his jobs while the cost of the second agent is the total weighted completion time of his jobs. We consider the scheduling problem of determining the sequence of the jobs such that the total cost of the two agents is minimized. We provide a 2-approximation algorithm for the problem, show that the case where the number of jobs of the first agent is fixed is NP-hard, and devise a polynomial time approximation scheme for this case.

Interval Scheduling on identical machines

Interval Scheduling problems (IS) address the situation where jobs with fixed start and fixed end times are to be processed on parallel identical machines. The optimization criteria of interest are the maximization of the number of jobs completed and, in case weights are associated with jobs, the subset of jobs with maximal total weight. We present polynomial solutions to several IS problems and study computational complexity issues in the situation where bounds are imposed on the total operating time of the machines. With this constraint, we show that tractability is achieved again when job preemption is allowed.
