Scheduling Two Agents on a Single Machine: A Parameterized Analysis of NP-hard Problems
Scheduling theory is an old and well-established area in combinatorial optimization, whereas the much younger area of parameterized complexity has only recently gained the attention of the community. Our aim is to bring these two areas closer together by studying the parameterized complexity of a class of single-machine two-agent scheduling problems. Our analysis focuses on the case where the n...
متن کاملA Parameterized Benchmark Suite of Hard Pipelined-Machine-Verification Problems
We present a parameterized suite of benchmark problems arising from our work on pipelined machine verification, in the hopes that they can be used to speed up decision procedures. While the existence of a large number of CNF benchmarks has spurred the development of efficient SAT solvers, the benchmarks available for more expressive logics are quite limited. Our work on pipelined machine verifi...
متن کاملA single-machine bi-criterion scheduling problem with two agents
The multiple-agent scheduling problems have received increasing attention recently. However, most of the research focuses on studying the computational complexity of the intractable cases or examining problems with a single criterion. Often a decision maker has to decide the schedule based on multiple criteria. In this paper, we consider a single machine problem where the objective is to minimi...
متن کاملA Lagrangian approach to single-machine scheduling problems with two competing agents
In this paper we develop branch and bound algorithms for a number of hard, two-agent scheduling problems, i.e., problems in which each agent has an objective function which depends on the completion times of its jobs only. We address the minimization of total weighted completion time of the first agent jobs, subject to a bound on the cost function of the second agent, which may be: (i) total we...
متن کاملSingle machine scheduling problems
In this paper, single machine scheduling problems with sequence dependent setup times are considered. The objective is to minimize the total weighted tardiness. The single machine total weighted tardiness (SMTWT) scheduling problems with sequence dependent setup times were proved to be strongly NP-hard. A recently developed meta-heuristic algorithm called as crow search algorithm is proposed to...
