无限批量调度中最小化加权完工时间和问题的一个线性时间近似方案

本文考虑n个工件的无限批量机器调度问题．一台机器可以同时加工B≥n个工件．每个工件具有一个正权因子、一个释放时间和一个加工时间．一个批次的加工时间是该批次所包含所有工件的加工时间的最大者．在同一批次中加工的工件有相同的完工时间，即它们的共同开始时间加上该批次的加工时间．对于最小化加权完工时间和问题，本文给出了第一个多项式时间近似方案(PTAS)．对任意给定精度，该算法的运行时间为线性的．     

Simultaneous Approximation by Polynomial Projection Operators

Pointwise estimates are obtained for simultaneous approximation of a function f and its derivatives by means of an arbitrary sequence of bounded projection operators with some extra condition (1.3) (we do not require the operators to be linear) which map C_[-1,1] into polynomials of degree n, augmented by the interpolation of f at some points near ±1. The present result essentially improved those in [BaKi3], and several applications are discussed in Section 4.     

Single machine batch scheduling to minimize the weighted number of late jobs

The single machine batch scheduling problem to minimize the weighted number of late jobs is studied. In this problem,n jobs have to be processed on a single machine. Each job has a processing time, a due date and a weight. Jobs may be combined to form batches containing contiguously scheduled jobs. For each batch, a constant set-up time is needed before the first job of this batch is processed. The completion time of each job in the batch coincides with the completion time of the last job in this batch. A job is late if it is completed after its due date. A schedule specifies the sequence of jobs and the size of each batch, i.e. the number of jobs it contains. The objective is to find a schedule which minimizes the weighted number of late jobs. This problem isNP-hard even if all due dates are equal. For the general case, we present a dynamic programming algorithm which solves the problem with equal weights inO(n ³) time. We formulate a certain scaled problem and show that our dynamic programming algorithm applied to this scaled problem provides a fully polynomial approximation scheme for the original problem. Each algorithm of this scheme has a time requirement ofO(n ³/ +n ³ logn). A side result is anO(n logn) algorithm for the problem of minimizing the maximum weight of late jobs.Supported by INTAS Project 93-257.     

A fully polynomial approximation scheme for the total tardiness problem

A fully polynomial approximation scheme is presented for the problem of sequencing jobs for processing by a single machine so as to minimize total tardiness. This result is obtained by modifying the author's pseudopolynomial algorithm for the same problem.     

Weighted Polynomial Approximation for Convex External Fields

It is proven that if Q is convex and w(x)= exp(-Q(x)) is the corresponding weight, then every continuous function that vanishes outside the support of the extremal measure associated with w can be uniformly approximated by weighted polynomials of the form w ⁿ P _n . This solves a problem of P. Borwein and E. B. Saff. Actually, a similar result is true locally for any parts of the extremal support where Q is convex. February 10, 1998. Date revised: July 23, 1998.

A single-item economic lot-sizing problem with a non-uniform resource: Approximation

We study a generalization of the classical single-item capacitated economic lot-sizing problem to the case of a non-uniform resource usage for production. The general problem and several special cases are shown to be non-approximable with any polynomially computable relative error in polynomial time. An optimal dynamic programming algorithm and its approximate modification are presented for the general problem. Fully polynomial time approximation schemes are developed for two NP-hard special cases: (1) cost functions of total production are separable and holding and backlogging cost functions are linear with polynomially related slopes, and (2) all holding costs are equal to zero.     

Simultaneous Polynomial Approximation in the Weighted Chebyshev Norm

Simultaneous approximation means that a given sufficiently smooth function g:[-1, 1] and its derivatives up to order q are approximated by a single polynomial p and its derivatives. This paper deals with new error estimates (in a weighted norm with explicit constants) and corresponding algorithms in the most interesting cases q = 1 and q = 2. The described method is based on the close relationship between algebraic and trigonometric polynomial approximation.
