Single Machine Scheduling with Discretely Compressible Processing Times

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we address the single machine scheduling problem with discretely compressible processing times, where processing any job with a compressed processing time incurs a corresponding compression cost. We consider the following problem: scheduling with discretely compressible processing times to minimize makespan with the constraint of total compression cost. Jobs may have different release times. We design a pseudo-polynomial time algorithm by approach of dynamic programming and an FPTAS.
