TLDR
This work considers various single machine scheduling problems in which the processing time of a job depends either on its position in a processing sequence or on its start time, and shows that the objective function is priority-generating and therefore the corresponding scheduling problem under series-parallel precedence constraints is polynomially solvable.
Abstract
We consider various single machine scheduling problems in which the processing time of a job depends either on its position in a processing sequence or on its start time. We focus on problems of minimizing the makespan or the sum of (weighted) completion times of the jobs. In many situations we show that the objective function is priority-generating, and therefore the corresponding scheduling problem under series-parallel precedence constraints is polynomially solvable. In other situations we provide counter-examples that show that the objective function is not priority-generating.
