On A Scheduling Problem of Time Deteriorating Jobs

We consider a scheduling problem with a single machine and a set of jobs which have to be processed sequentially. While waiting for processing, jobs may deteriorate, causing the processing requirement of each job to grow after a fixed waiting timet₀. We prove that the problem of minimizing the makespan—completion time for all jobs—is NP-hard. Next we consider the problem for a natural special case where the job requirement grows linearly at a job-specific rate aftert₀. We develop a fully polynomial time approximation scheme for the problem in this case. We also give further NP-hardness results, and a polynomial time algorithm for the case where the job-specific rate is proportional to the initial processing requirement of each job.

Scheduling Equal Processing Time Jobs to Minimize the Weighted Number of Late Jobs

We prove that the problem P ∣ p _i = p, pmtn ∣ ∑w _i U _i is unary NP-hard although the corresponding nonpreemptive problem can be solved in O(n log n) time, where n is the number of jobs. This contrasts the fact that usually preemptive problems are not harder than their nonpreemptive counterparts.

Scheduling of Jobs in a Hypercube Processing System

When a job is processed in a hypercube multi-processor, it is allocated a cube of processing elements of the requisite size. There are three distinct costs involved in the hypercube scheduling problem: the cost of detecting a free cube (allocation), the cost of migrating jobs and merging the free spaces to accommodate a larger cube request (relocation) and the cost of not meeting the due date (tardiness). Traditionally, research in this area has focused on finding efficient algorithms for allocating a free cube (if any) in the hypercube system. The relocation cost has been treated as an independent cost metric. The role of scheduling has not received much attention and present subcube allocation methods assume a first-come-first-serve (FCFS) approach over the input job set.This paper considers the underlying scheduling issues in a hypercube processing system and shows how techniques other than FCFS scheduling of the incoming jobs can help in reducing the relocation cost and hence the overall subcube resource assignment cost. We discuss five simple and easily implementable dispatching heuristics, and compare their relative performance with the FCFS scheduling rule to demonstrate the advantages of scheduling in subcube allocation.

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.

Polynomial Time Samplable Distributions

This paper studies the complexity of the polynomial-time samplable (P-samplable) distributions, which can be approximated within an exponentially small factor by sampling algorithms in time polynomial in the length of their outputs. The paper shows that common assumptions in complexity theory yield the separation of polynomial-time samplable distributions from the polynomial-time computable distributions with respect to polynomial domination, average-polynomial domination, polynomial equivalence, and average-polynomial equivalence.     

Minimizing the Number of Tardy Jobs in a Permutation Flowshop Scheduling Problem with Setup Times and Time Lags Constraints

This paper studies the permutation flowshop scheduling problem with sequence dependent setup times and time lags constraints minimizing the number of tardy jobs. Dependent setup times are defined as the work to prepare the machines between two successive jobs. Time lags are defined as intervals of time that must exist between every couple of successive operations of the same job. Two mathematical programming formulations are proposed for the considered problem. A simulated annealing algorithm is also developed to solve the problem. Computational experiments are presented and discussed.     

加工时间是开工时间线性分段函数的单机总误工问题

研究工件加工时间是开工时间的线性分段函数的单机排序问题,其中工件的加工时间是开工时间的线性增加函数,但是有一个上界,在时刻T(T是已知常数)以后开始加工的工件,其加工时间不再因开工时间的推迟而增大,优化的目标是极小化总误工工件数.当工件的工期与加工时间满足某种一致性关系的时候,不管工件的加工时间是开工时间的简单线性分段函数,还是其基本加工时间是与恶化率有关的分段线性函数,证明这两种情况都是多项式时间可解的.     

A Fully Polynomial Approximation Scheme for Minimizing Makespan of Deteriorating Jobs

A fully polynomial approximation scheme for the problem of scheduling n deteriorating jobs on a single machine to minimize makespan is presented. Each algorithm of the scheme runs in O(n ⁵ L ⁴³) time, where L is the number of bits in the binary encoding of the largest numerical parameter in the input, and is required relative error. The idea behind the scheme is rather general and it can be used to develop fully polynomial approximation schemes for other combinatorial optimization problems. Main feature of the scheme is that it does not require any prior knowledge of lower and/or upper bounds on the value of optimal solutions.

Single Machine Scheduling of Unit-time Jobs with Controllable Release Dates

The paper presents a bicriterion approach to solve the single-machine scheduling problem in which the job release dates can be compressed while incurring additional costs. The two criteria are the makespan and the compression cost. For the case of equal job processing times, an O(n⁴) algorithm is developed to construct integer Pareto optimal points. We discuss how the algorithm developed can be modified to construct an -approximation of noninteger Pareto optimal points. The complexity status of the problem with total weighted completion time criterion is also established.     

Scheduling Three-Operation Jobs in a Two-Machine Flow Shop to Minimize Makespan

This paper considers a variant of the classical problem of minimizing makespan in a two-machine flow shop. In this variant, each job has three operations, where the first operation must be performed on the first machine, the second operation can be performed on either machine but cannot be preempted, and the third operation must be performed on the second machine. The NP-hard nature of the problem motivates the design and analysis of approximation algorithms. It is shown that a schedule in which the operations are sequenced arbitrarily, but without inserted machine idle time, has a worst-case performance ratio of 2. Also, an algorithm that constructs four schedules and selects the best is shown to have a worst-case performance ratio of 3/2. A polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) is also presented.     

Waiting Time Distributions in the Preemptive Accumulating Priority Queue

We consider a queueing system in which a single server attends to N priority classes of customers. Upon arrival to the system, a customer begins to accumulate priority linearly at a rate which is distinct to the class to which it belongs. Customers with greater accumulated priority levels are given preferential treatment in the sense that at every service selection instant, the customer with the greatest accumulated priority level is selected next for servicing. Furthermore, the system is preemptive so that the servicing of a customer is interrupted for customers with greater accumulated priority levels. The main objective of the paper is to characterize the waiting time distributions of each class. Numerical examples are also provided which exemplify the true benefit of incorporating an accumulating prioritization structure, namely the ability to control waiting times.
