Abstract
We investigate a two-machine job shop scheduling problem with optional job rejection. The target is to look for a feasible schedule for the set of accepted jobs so that the sum of the makespan of the accepted jobs and the total penalty of the rejected jobs is minimized. We propose an exact pseudo-polynomial dynamic programming algorithm, a greedy \(\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}\)-approximation algorithm, an LP-based \(\frac{e}{e-1}\)-approximation algorithm, and a fully polynomial time approximation scheme to solve it. We demonstrate that the proportionate case is \(\mathcal{N}\mathcal{P}\)-hard and provide an \(O(n^2)\)-time algorithm for the agreeable case.
期刊介绍:
Optimization Letters is an international journal covering all aspects of optimization, including theory, algorithms, computational studies, and applications, and providing an outlet for rapid publication of short communications in the field. Originality, significance, quality and clarity are the essential criteria for choosing the material to be published.
Optimization Letters has been expanding in all directions at an astonishing rate during the last few decades. New algorithmic and theoretical techniques have been developed, the diffusion into other disciplines has proceeded at a rapid pace, and our knowledge of all aspects of the field has grown even more profound. At the same time one of the most striking trends in optimization is the constantly increasing interdisciplinary nature of the field.
Optimization Letters aims to communicate in a timely fashion all recent developments in optimization with concise short articles (limited to a total of ten journal pages). Such concise articles will be easily accessible by readers working in any aspects of optimization and wish to be informed of recent developments.
