Partially ordered knapsack and applications to scheduling
In the partially-ordered knapsack problem (POK) we are given a set N of items and a partial order ≺P on N. Each item has a size and an associated weight. The objective is to pac...

The Power of Preemption on Unrelated Machines and Applications to Scheduling Orders
Abstract. Scheduling jobs on unrelated parallel machines so as to minimize the makespan is one of the basic, well-studied problems in the area of machine scheduling. In the first ...

Approximating Single Machine Scheduling with Scenarios
In the field of robust optimization, the goal is to provide solutions to combinatorial problems that hedge against variations of the numerical parameters. This constitutes an effor...
