An FPTAS for Uniform Machine Scheduling to Minimize the Total Completion Time and the Total Rejection Penalty

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we study the NP-hard problem of schedulingjobs onuniform machines to minimize the total completion time of the accepted jobs and the total rejection penalty of the rejected jobs. Each job's processing time is a simple linear increasing function of its starting time. A job can be rejected by paying a penalty cost. We propose a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) to show the problem is NP-hard in the ordinary sense.
