This paper introduces the non-idling machine constraint where no intermediate idle time between the operations processed by a machine is allowed. In its first part, the paper considers the non-idling single-machine scheduling problem. Complexity aspects are first discussed. The “Earliest Non-Idling” property is then introduced as a sufficient condition so that an algorithm solving the original problem also solves its non-idling variant. Moreover it is shown that preemptive problems do have that property. The critical times of an instance are then introduced and it is shown that when their number is polynomial, as for equal-length jobs, a polynomial algorithm solving the original problem has a polynomial variant solving its non-idling version.  相似文献

We consider the problem of scheduling independent jobs on a single resource under a special unavailability constraint: a set of forbidden instants is given, where no job is allowed to start or complete. We show that a schedule without idle time always exists if the number of forbidden instants is less than the number of distinct processing times appearing in the instance. We derive quite a fast algorithm to find such a schedule, based on an hybridization between a list algorithm and local exchange. As a corollary minimizing the makespan for a fixed number of forbidden instants is polynomial.  相似文献

Bicriteria scheduling problems are of significance in both theoretical and applied aspects. It is known that the single machine bicriteria scheduling problem of minimizing total weighted completion time and maximum cost simultaneously is strongly NP-hard. In this paper we consider a special case where the jobs have equal length and present an $O(n^{3}\log n)$ algorithm for finding all Pareto optimal solutions of this bicriteria scheduling problem.  相似文献

In this paper, we consider the well-known resource-constrained project scheduling problem. We give some arguments that already a special case of this problem with a single type of resources is not approximable in polynomial time with an approximation ratio bounded by a constant. We prove that there exist instances for which the optimal makespan values for the non-preemptive and the preemptive problems have a ratio of O(logn), where n is the number of jobs. This means that there exist instances for which the lower bound of Mingozzi et al. has a bad relative error of O(logn), and the calculation of this bound is an NP-hard problem. In addition, we give a proof that there exists a type of instances for which known approximation algorithms with polynomial time complexity have an approximation ratio of at least equal to $O(\sqrt{n})$ , and known lower bounds have a relative error of at least equal to O(logn). This type of instances corresponds to the single machine parallel-batch scheduling problem 1|p?batch,b=∞|C max.  相似文献

In this paper, we consider two single-machine rescheduling problems with linear deteriorating jobs under disruption. By a deteriorating jobs, we mean that the actual processing time of the job is an increasing function of its starting time. The two problems correspond to two different increasing linear function. Rescheduling means a set of original jobs has already been scheduled to minimize some classical objective, then a new set of jobs arrives and creates a disruption. We consider the rescheduling problem to minimize the total completion time under a limit of the disruption from the original scheduling. For each problem, we consider two versions. For each version, the polynomial algorithms are proposed, respectively.  相似文献

Logic-based Benders decomposition can combine mixed integer programming and constraint programming to solve planning and scheduling problems much faster than either method alone. We find that a similar technique can be beneficial for solving pure scheduling problems as the problem size scales up. We solve single-facility non-preemptive scheduling problems with time windows and long time horizons. The Benders master problem assigns jobs to predefined segments of the time horizon, where the subproblem schedules them. In one version of the problem, jobs may not overlap the segment boundaries (which represent shutdown times, such as weekends), and in another version, there is no such restriction. The objective is to find feasible solutions, minimize makespan, or minimize total tardiness.  相似文献

We consider basic problems of non-preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machines. For a given schedule, defined by a partition of the jobs into m subsets corresponding to the m machines, \(C_i\) denotes the completion time of machine i. Our goal is to find a schedule that minimizes or maximizes \(\sum _{i=1}^m C_i^p\) for a fixed value of p such that \(0 . For \(p>1\) the minimization problem is equivalent to the well-known problem of minimizing the \(\ell _p\) norm of the vector of the completion times of the machines, and for \(0 , the maximization problem is of interest. Our main result is an efficient polynomial time approximation scheme (EPTAS) for each one of these problems. Our schemes use a non-standard application of the so-called shifting technique. We focus on the work (total size of jobs) assigned to each machine and introduce intervals of work that are forbidden. These intervals are defined so that the resulting effect on the goal function is sufficiently small. This allows the partition of the problem into sub-problems (with subsets of machines and jobs) whose solutions are combined into the final solution using dynamic programming. Our results are the first EPTAS’s for this natural class of load balancing problems.  相似文献

The optimization of parallel applications is difficult to achieve by classical optimization techniques because of their diversity and the variety of actual parallel and distributed platforms and/or environments. Adaptive algorithmic schemes, capable of dynamically changing the allocation of jobs during the execution to optimize global system behavior, are the best alternatives for solving this problem. In this paper, we focus on non-clairvoyant scheduling of parallel jobs with known resource requirements but unknown running times, with emphasis on the regulation of idle periods in the context of general list policies. We consider a new family of scheduling strategies based on two phases which successively combine sequential and parallel execution of jobs. We generalize known worst-case performance bounds by considering two extra parameters, in addition to the number of processors and maximum processor requirements considered in the literature, namely, job parallelization penalty and idle regulation factor. Furthermore, we prove that under certain conditions of idle regulation, the performance guarantee of parallel job scheduling in space-sharing mode can be improved.  相似文献

We consider a scheduling model in which several batches of jobs need to be processed by a single machine. During processing, a setup time is incurred whenever there is a switch from processing a job in one batch to a job in another batch. All the jobs in the same batch have a common due date that is either externally given as an input data or internally determined as a decision variable. Two problems are investigated. One problem is to minimize the total earliness and tardiness penalties provided that each due date is externally given. We show that this problem is NP-hard even when there are only two batches of jobs and the two due dates are unrestrictively large. The other problem is to minimize the total earliness and tardiness penalties plus the total due date penalty provided that each due date is a decision variable. We give some optimality properties for this problem with the general case and propose a polynomial dynamic programming algorithm for solving this problem with two batches of jobs. We also consider a special case for both of the problems when the common due dates for different batches are all equal. Under this special case, we give a dynamic programming algorithm for solving the first problem with an unrestrictively large due date and for solving the second problem. This algorithm has a running time polynomial in the number of jobs but exponential in the number of batches.  相似文献

Two-machine flowshop scheduling to minimize makespan is one of the most well-known classical scheduling problems. Johnson’s rule for solving this problem has been widely cited in the literature. We introduce in this paper the concept of composite job, which is an artificially constructed job with processing times such that it will incur the same amount of idle time on the second machine as that incurred by a chain of jobs in a given processing sequence. This concept due to Kurisu first appeared in 1976 to deal with the two-machine flowshop scheduling problem involving precedence constraints among the jobs. We show that this concept can be applied to reduce the computational time to solve some related scheduling problems. We also establish a link between solving the two-machine flowshop makespan minimization problem using Johnson’s rule and the relocation problem introduced by Kaplan. We present an intuitive interpretation of Johnson’s rule in the context of the relocation problem.  相似文献

We consider the problem of scheduling two agents A and B on a set of m uniform parallel machines. Each agent is assumed to be independent from the other: agent A and agent B are made up of n A and n B jobs, respectively. Each job is defined by its processing time and possibly additional data such as a due date, a weight, etc., and must be processed on a single machine. All machines are uniform, i.e. each machine has its own processing speed. Notice that we consider the special case of equal-size jobs, i.e. all jobs share the same processing time. Our goal is to minimize two maximum functions associated with agents A and B and referred to as $F_{max}^{A}=\max_{i\in A} f^{A}_{i}(C_{i})$ and $F_{max}^{B}=\max_{i\in B}f^{B}_{i}(C_{i})$ , respectively, with C i the completion time of job i and $f_{i}^{X}$ a non-decreasing function. These kinds of problems are called multi-agent scheduling problems. As we are dealing with two conflicting criteria, we focus on the calculation of the strict Pareto optima for the $(F_{max}^{A}, F_{max}^{B} )$ criteria vector. In this paper we develop a minimal complete Pareto set enumeration algorithm with time complexity and memory requirements.  相似文献

We examine the problem of scheduling a given set of jobs on a single machine to minimize total early and tardy costs without considering machine idle time. We decompose the problem into two subproblems with a simpler structure. Then the lower bound of the problem is the sum of the lower bounds of two subproblems. A lower bound of each subproblem is obtained by Lagrangian relaxation. Rather than using the well-known subgradient optimization approach, we develop two efficient multiplier adjustment procedures with complexity O(nlog n) to solve two Lagrangian dual subproblems. A branch-and-bound algorithm based on the two efficient procedures is presented, and is used to solve problems with up to 50 jobs, hence doubling the size of problems that can be solved by existing branch-and-bound algorithms. We also propose a heuristic procedure based on the neighborhood search approach. The computational results for problems with up to 3 000 jobs show that the heuristic procedure performs much better than known heuristics for this problem in terms of both solution efficiency and quality. In addition, the results establish the effectiveness of the heuristic procedure in solving realistic problems to optimality or near optimality.  相似文献

Complexity of a scheduling problem with controllable processing times   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
We consider the problem of scheduling a set of independent jobs on a single machine so as to minimize the total weighted completion time, subject to the constraint that the total compression cost is less than or equal to a fixed amount. The complexity of this problem is mentioned as an open problem. In this note we show that the problem is NP-hard.  相似文献

Preemptive scheduling with rejection   总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8  
 We consider the problem of preemptively scheduling a set of n jobs on m (identical, uniformly related, or unrelated) parallel machines. The scheduler may reject a subset of the jobs and thereby incur job-dependent penalties for each rejected job, and he must construct a schedule for the remaining jobs so as to optimize the preemptive makespan on the m machines plus the sum of the penalties of the jobs rejected. We provide a complete classification of these scheduling problems with respect to complexity and approximability. Our main results are on the variant with an arbitrary number of unrelated machines. This variant is APX-hard, and we design a 1.58-approximation algorithm for it. All other considered variants are weakly -hard, and we provide fully polynomial time approximation schemes for them. Finally, we argue that our results for unrelated machines can be carried over to the corresponding preemptive open shop scheduling problem with rejection.

We consider the problem of maximizing total tardiness on a single machine, where the first job starts at time zero and idle times between the processing of jobs are not allowed. We present a modification of an exact pseudo-polynomial algorithm based on a graphical approach, which has a polynomial running time. This result settles the complexity status of the problem under consideration which was open.  相似文献

This paper addresses a scheduling problem in a flexible supply chain, in which the jobs can be either processed in house, or outsourced to a third-party supplier. The goal is to minimize the sum of holding and delivery costs. This problem is proved to be strongly \(\mathcal{NP}\) -hard. Consider two special cases, in which the jobs have identical processing times. For the problem with limited outsourcing budgets, a \(\mathcal{NP}\) -hardness proof, a pseudo-polynomial algorithm and a fully polynomial time approximation scheme are presented. For the problem with unlimited outsourcing budgets, the problem is shown to be equivalent to the shortest path problem, and therefore it is in class  \(\mathcal{P}\) . This shortest-path-problem solution approach is further shown to be applicable to a similar but more applicable problem, in which the number of deliveries is upper bounded.  相似文献

In this paper we consider \(l_0\) regularized convex cone programming problems. In particular, we first propose an iterative hard thresholding (IHT) method and its variant for solving \(l_0\) regularized box constrained convex programming. We show that the sequence generated by these methods converges to a local minimizer. Also, we establish the iteration complexity of the IHT method for finding an \({{\epsilon }}\) -local-optimal solution. We then propose a method for solving \(l_0\) regularized convex cone programming by applying the IHT method to its quadratic penalty relaxation and establish its iteration complexity for finding an \({{\epsilon }}\) -approximate local minimizer. Finally, we propose a variant of this method in which the associated penalty parameter is dynamically updated, and show that every accumulation point is a local izer of the problem.  相似文献

In high-multiplicity scheduling problems, identical jobs are encoded in the efficient format of describing one of the jobs and the number of identical jobs. Similarly, identical machines are efficiently encoded in the same manner. We investigate parallel-machine, high-multiplicity problems, where there are three possible machine speed structures: identical, proportional, or unrelated. For the objectives of minimizing the sum of job completion times and minimizing the makespan, we consider both nonpreemptive and preemptive problems. For some problems, we develop polynomial time algorithms. For several problems, we demonstrate that the recognition versions can be solved in polynomial time, while the optimization versions require pseudo-polynomial time. We also show that changing from standard binary encoding to high-multiplicity encoding does not affect the complexity class of NP-complete problems.

We consider single machine scheduling problems with deteriorating jobs and SLK/DIF due window assignment, where the deteriorating rates of jobs are assumed to be job-dependent. We consider two different objectives under SLK and DIF due window assignment, respectively. The first objective is to minimise total costs of earliness, tardiness, due window location and due window size, while the second objective is to minimise a cost function that includes number of early jobs, number of tardy jobs and the costs for due window location and due window size. We study the optimality properties for all problems and develop algorithms for solving these problems in polynomial time.  相似文献
