关于排序模型1｜·｜ri≥0｜ ∑n i=1 to n vi的注记

设J={J1,…,Jn}是n个工件的集合,M是一台机器.每个工件Ji要在机器M上加工一次,而且是相继只加工一次,即加工不能够中断.Ji的加工时间是pi,准备时间是ri,即Ji不能在ri之前加工,要求完工的期限是di,即工件Ji的加工应该在di之前完成.否则,这个工件将被拒绝放在一旁.我们的目的是寻找排序算法A,当使用到给定的J上时,使被拒绝的工件个数为最少. 1978年Kise，Ibaraki，Mine等在条件ri〈rj蕴涵di≤dj（对于任何1≤i，j≤n）下，对于任何给定的J找到算法A他们在论文[1]中“证明”算法A是最优算法．最近，李杉林给出一个例子说明他们的证明中的一个关键引理是错误的．本文作者在书[2]中也沿用了这个错误的“证明”．对于算法A的最优性，本文给出一个新的简单的证明．     

具有不可用区间且工件可拒绝下的单机重新排序问题的近似方案

本文考虑了机器具有不可用区间且工件可拒绝下的单机重新排序问题,在该问题中,给定一个工件集需在一台机器上加工,每个工件有自己的加工时间和权重,且对该工件集目标函数为极小化总加权完工时间的排序计划已给定,根据该排序计划中每个工件的完工时间已确定每个工件的承诺交付时间。然而,在工件正式开始加工前,原计划用于加工的某段时间区间因临时用于检修机器而导致机器在该时间区间不再可用,需要对工件重新排序。为了确保在新的重新排序中,工件的延误成本不致太大,决策者可以选择拒绝部分工件,但需支付相应的拒绝费用。任务是确定接受工件集和拒绝工件集,并将接受的工件在考虑机器具有不可用区间的条件下重新排序使得接受工件集的总加权完工时间,总拒绝费用及赋权最大延误之和最小。该问题是NP-困难的,对此给出了伪多项式时间动态规划精确算法,利用稀疏技术设计了完全多项式时间近似方案。

Bi-criterion single-machine scheduling and due-window assignment with common flow allowances and resource-dependent processing times

This paper addresses single-machine scheduling and due-window assignment with common flow allowances and resource-dependent processing times. Due-window assignment with common flow allowances means that each job has a job-dependent due window, the start time and finish time of which are equal to its actual processing time plus individual job-independent parameters shared by all the jobs, respectively. The processing time of each job can be controlled by extra resource allocation as a linear function of the amount of a common continuously divisible resource allocated to the job. Two criteria are considered, where one criterion is an integrated cost consisting of job earliness, weighted number of tardy jobs, and due-window assignment cost, while the other criterion is the resource consumption cost. Four different models are considered for treating the two criteria. It is shown that the problem under the model where the two criteria are integrated into a single criterion is polynomially solvable, while the problems under the other three models are all NP-hard and an optimal solution procedure is developed for them. Two polynomially solvable cases are also identified and investigated. Finally, numerical studies with randomly generated instances are conducted to assess the performance of the proposed algorithms.

一个宽容交货超前延误单机排序问题

此文考虑下述排序问题（P）：有n个工件需在同一台机器上加工，对各工件有一共同的宽容交货期。若一工件在此宽容期前完工则为一超前工件，若在此宽容期后完工则为一延误工件，要求适当安排一加工方式和宽容交货期的位置使加权超前延误工件数量小。文中证得（P）是NP-hard的，并给出一伪多项式时间的分枝状精确算法，这也就可以认为它是一般意义下的NP-hard问题而不是强NP-hard问题。

带强制工期的可中断单机排序问题

工件带强制工期,指工件必须在已给定的工期内完工,不得延迟.这种环境在实际应用中随处可见.如果工件过早提前完工,意味着工件还需要保管,将会产生额外费用.本文讨论了在单机上,加工带准备时间与强制工期的n个可中断工件,在机器可空闲条件下,确定一个工件排序,使得提前完工时间和最小.先考虑了问题的复杂性,通过奇偶划分问题归约,证明了其是NP-complete的.而后,讨论了加工时间相等的特殊情形,由于工件不允许延迟,问题可能会无可行排序,因此提出了—个多项式时间算法,既能判定可行性,又能针对可行问题获得最优排序.     

Complexity of minimizing the total flow time with interval data and minmax regret criterion

We consider the minmax regret (robust) version of the problem of scheduling n jobs on a machine to minimize the total flow time, where the processing times of the jobs are uncertain and can take on any values from the corresponding intervals of uncertainty. We prove that the problem in NP-hard. For the case where all intervals of uncertainty have the same center, we show that the problem can be solved in O(nlogn) time if the number of jobs is even, and is NP-hard if the number of jobs is odd. We study structural properties of the problem and discuss some polynomially solvable cases.     

A note on parallel-machine due-window assignment

We consider a due-window assignment problem on identical parallel machines, where the jobs have equal processing times and job-dependent earliness-tardiness costs. We would like to determine a ‘due window’ during which the jobs can be completed at no cost and to obtain a job schedule in which the jobs are penalized if they finish before or after the due window. The objective is to minimize the total earliness and tardiness job penalty, plus the cost associated with the size of the due window. We present an algorithm that can solve this problem in O(n³) time, which is an improvement of the O(n⁴) solution procedure developed by Mosheiov and Sarig.     

Parallel machine scheduling with a common due window

In this paper, we consider a machine scheduling problem where jobs should be completed at times as close as possible to their respective due dates, and hence both earliness and tardiness should be penalized. Specifically, we consider the problem with a set of independent jobs to be processed on several identical parallel machines. All the jobs have a given common due window. If a job is completed within the due window, then there is no penalty. Otherwise, there is either a job-dependent earliness penalty or a job-dependent tardiness penalty depending on whether the job is completed before or after the due window. The objective is to find an optimal schedule with minimum total earliness–tardiness penalty. The problem is known to be NP-hard. We propose a branch and bound algorithm for finding an optimal schedule of the problem. The algorithm is based on the column generation approach in which the problem is first formulated as a set partitioning type formulation and then in each branch and bound iteration the linear relaxation of this formulation is solved by the standard column generation procedure. Our computational experiments show that this algorithm is capable of solving problems with up to 40 jobs and any number of machines within a reasonable computational time.     

A heuristic for scheduling in a two-stage hybrid flowshop with renewable resources shared among the stages

In this paper we propose a heuristic for solving the problem of resource constrained preemptive scheduling in the two-stage flowshop with one machine at the first stage and parallel unrelated machines at the second stage, where renewable resources are shared among the stages, so some quantities of the same resource can be used at different stages at the same time. Availability of every resource at any moment is limited and resource requirements of jobs are arbitrary. The objective is minimization of makespan. The problem is NP-hard. The heuristic first sequences jobs on the machine at stage 1 and then solves the preemptive scheduling problem at stage 2. Priority rules which depend on processing times and resource requirements of jobs are proposed for sequencing jobs at stage 1. A column generation algorithm which involves linear programming, a tabu search algorithm and a greedy procedure is proposed to minimize the makespan at stage 2. A lower bound on the optimal makespan in which sharing of the resources between the stages is taken into account is also derived. The performance of the heuristic evaluated experimentally by comparing the solutions to the lower bound is satisfactory.
