A note on the precedence-constrained class sequencing problem
We give a short proof of a result of Tovey [Non-approximability of precedence-constrained sequencing to minimize setups, DiscreteAppl. Math. 134:351–360, 2004] on the inapproximability of a scheduling problem known as precedence-constrained class sequencing. In addition, we present an approximation algorithm with performance guarantee (c + 1)/2, where c is the number of colors. This improves up...
متن کاملA Cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for Precedence Constrained Sequencing Problem (PCSP)
Precedence constrained sequencing problem (PCSP) is related to locate the optimal sequence with the shortest traveling time among all feasible sequences. In PCSP, precedence relations determine sequence of traveling between any two nodes. Various methods and algorithms for effectively solving the PCSP have been suggested. In this paper we propose a cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for effectively ...
متن کاملA pegging approach to the precedence-constrained knapsack problem
The knapsack problem (KP) is generalized to the case where items are partially ordered through a set of precedence relations. As in ordinary KPs, each item is associated with profit and weight, the knapsack has a fixed capacity, and the problem is to determine the set of items to be packed in the knapsack. However, each item can be accepted only when all the preceding items have been included i...
متن کاملA Transitive Reduction Approach to the Precedence-Constrained Knapsack Problem
We are concerned with the precedence-constrained knapsack problem (PCKP), which is a knapsack problem defined on a directed acyclic graph (DAG). It is often the case that the original problem includes redundant constraints, and by eliminating these we obtain a PCKP of (much) smaller size. We show that such a reduction can be explained in terms of the ‘transitive reduction’ of the DAG associated...
متن کاملA Note on the Complexity of Scheduling for Precedence Constrained Messages in Distributed Systems
This note considers a problem of minimum length scheduling for a set of messages subject to precedence constraints for switching and communication networks. The problem was first studied by Barcaccia, Bonuccelli, and Di Iannii [1]. We consider a network with n inputs and n outputs. The messages to be sent are represented by an n × n matrix D = [di j], the traffic matrix, whose entries are nonne...
