We study single machine scheduling problems, where processing times of the jobs are exponential functions of their start times. For increasing functions, we prove strong NP-hardnes...
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs with release dates on m identical parallel machines to minimize the average completion time of the jobs. We prove that the ratio of the...

We study the online version of the classical parallel machine scheduling problem to minimize the total weighted completion time from a new perspective: We assume that the data of ...
Abstract. A well studied and difficult class of scheduling problems concerns parallel machines and precedence constraints. In order to model more realistic situations, we consider ...
We study the online version of the classical parallel machine scheduling problem to minimize the total weighted completion time from the perspective of algorithmic mechanism desig...
