چکیده
A polynomial algorithm is proposed for two scheduling problems for which the complexity status was open. A set of jobs with unit processing times, release dates and outtree precedence relations has to be processed on parallel identical machines such that the total completion time ∑ Cj is minimized. It is shown that the problem can be solved in O(n2) time if no preemption is allowed. Furthermore, it is proved that allowing preemption does not reduce the optimal objective value, which verifies a conjecture of Baptiste and Timkovsky.

A Unified Approach for Design of Lp Polynomial Algorithms
By summarizing Khachiyan's algorithm and Karmarkar's algorithm forlinear program (LP) a unified methodology for the design of polynomial-time algorithms for LP is presented in this paper. A key concept is the so-called extended binary search (EBS) algorithm introduced by the author. It is used as a unified model to analyze the complexities of the existing modem LP algorithms and possibly, help ...
متن کاملA POLYNOMIAL TIME BRANCH AND BOUND ALGORITHM FOR THE SINGLE ITEM ECONOMIC LOT SIZING PROBLEM WITH ALL UNITS DISCOUNT AND RESALE
The purpose of this paper is to present a polynomial time algorithm which determines the lot sizes for purchase component in Material Requirement Planning (MRP) environments with deterministic time-phased demand with zero lead time. In this model, backlog is not permitted, the unit purchasing price is based on the all-units discount system and resale of the excess units is possible at the order...

متن کاملGlobal optimization of mixed-integer polynomial programming problems: A new method based on Grobner Bases theory
Mixed-integer polynomial programming (MIPP) problems are one class of mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems where objective function and constraints are restricted to the polynomial functions. Although the MINLP problem is NP-hard, in special cases such as MIPP problems, an efficient algorithm can be extended to solve it. In this research, we propose an algorit...
متن کاملA Full-NT Step Infeasible Interior-Point Algorithm for Mixed Symmetric Cone LCPs
An infeasible interior-point algorithm for mixed symmetric cone linear complementarity problems is proposed. Using the machinery of Euclidean Jordan algebras and Nesterov-Todd search direction, the convergence analysis of the algorithm is shown and proved. Moreover, we obtain a polynomial time complexity bound which matches the currently best known iteration bound for infeasible interior-point ...
متن کاملNumerical solution for the risk of transmission of some novel coronavirus (2019-nCov) models by the Newton-Taylor polynomial solutions
In this paper we consider two type of mathematical models for the novel coronavirus (2019-nCov), which are in the form of a nonlinear differential equations system. In the first model the contact rate, , and transition rate of symptomatic infected indeviduals to the quarantined infected class, , are constant. And in the second model these quantities are time dependent. These models are the...
