This paper considers a single-machine scheduling problem with past-sequence-dependent delivery times and the truncated sum-of-processing-times-based learning effect. The goal is to minimize the total costs that comprise the number of early jobs, the number of tardy jobs and due date. The due date is a decision variable. There will be corresponding penalties for jobs that are not completed on time. Under the common due date, slack due date and different due date, we prove that these problems are polynomial time solvable. Three polynomial time algorithms are proposed to obtain the optimal sequence.

We studied single machine scheduling problems in which the jobs need to be delivered to customers after processing. It is assumed that the delivery times are proportional to the length of the already processed jobs, and a job's processing time depended on its position in a sequence. The objective functions include total earliness, the weighted number of tardy jobs and the cost of due date assignment. We analyzed these problems with two different due date assignment methods and conclude that the problems are polynomial time solvable.

This paper studies a two-agent single-machine scheduling problem with sum-of-processing-times-based learning consideration. The goal is to find an optimal schedule to minimize the total late work of the first agent subject to the restriction that the maximum lateness of the second agent has an upper bound. For this problem, a branch-and-bound algorithm along with several dominances and a lower bound is developed to find the optimal solution, and a tabu algorithm with several improvements is proposed to find the near-optimal solution. Computational experiments are provided to further measure the performance of the proposed algorithms.

This paper studies a single machine scheduling problem with rejection. Each job has a variable processing time and a rejection penalty. The objective function is to minimize the sum of the makespan of the accepted jobs and the total rejection penalty of the rejected jobs. We show that the problem can be solved in polynomial time.

This paper considers single-machine scheduling with learning effect, deteriorating jobs and convex resource dependent processing times, i.e., the processing time of a job is a function of its starting time, its position in a sequence and its convex resource allocation. The objective is to find the optimal sequence of jobs and the optimal convex resource allocation separately to minimize a cost function containing makespan, total completion (waiting) time, total absolute differences in completion (waiting) times and total resource cost. It is proved that the problem can be solved in polynomial time.

Scheduling jobs with release and due dates on a single machine is a classical strongly NP-hard combination optimization problem. It has not only immediate real-life applications but also it is effectively used for the solution of more complex multiprocessor and shop scheduling problems. Here, we propose a general method that can be applied to the scheduling problems with job release times and due-dates. Based on this method, we carry out a detailed study of the single-machine scheduling problem, disclosing its useful structural properties. These properties give us more insight into the complex nature of the problem and its bottleneck feature that makes it intractable. This method also helps us to expose explicit conditions when the problem can be solved in polynomial time. In particular, we establish the complexity status of the special case of the problem in which job processing times are mutually divisible by constructing a polynomial-time algorithm that solves this setting. Apparently, this setting is a maximal polynomially solvable special case of the single-machine scheduling problem with non-arbitrary job processing times.

In this paper, we consider the single machine scheduling problem with inventory operations. The objective is to minimize makespan subject to the constraint that the total number of tardy jobs is minimum. We show the problem is strongly NP-hard. A polynomial [Formula: see text]-approximation scheme for the problem is presented, where m is defined as the total job's processing times ∑ pj divided by the capacity c of the storage, and an optimal algorithm for a special case of the problem, in which each job is one unit in size.

We consider a single-machine scheduling problem such that the due dates are assigned not to the jobs but to the position at which the job is processed. We focus on the case with identical due date intervals. The objective is to minimize the weighted number of early and tardy jobs. First, we show that the problem is strongly NP-hard and has no [Formula: see text]-approximation algorithm for any fixed value [Formula: see text]. Then, we investigate polynomially solvable cases. Finally, we show that the preemption version is weakly NP-hard through its equivalence to the problem of minimizing the weighted number of tardy jobs.
