TLDR
An O(n2 log nlog P) algorithm is suggested for the case when the processing times of some jobs are restricted to either P or 2P.
Abstract
We study the problem of scheduling jobs with release times and tails on a single machine with the objective to minimize the makespan. This problem is strongly NP-hard, however it is known to be polynomially solvable if all jobs have equal processing time P. We generalize this result and suggest an O(n2 log nlog P) algorithm for the case when the processing times of some jobs are restricted to either P or 2P.

Minimizing maximum lateness of jobs with naturally bounded job data on a single machine in polynomial time

TL;DR: A polynomial-time solution of the version of the problem of scheduling jobs with given release times and due dates on a single machine in which the maximal job processing time and the differences between the job release times are bounded by a constant.

A simulated annealing approach to minimize the maximum lateness on uniform parallel machines

TL;DR: This paper proposes a simulated annealing algorithm, named LPDT-SA, to obtain solutions with high quality for large-sized problems, which is efficient to realize the swap and insertion neighborhood, and simultaneously avoid some obvious inferior solutions.

Jackson's semi-preemptive scheduling on a single machine

TL;DR: This work proposes an effective improvement of the well-known Jackson's preemptive schedule lower bound for the single machine scheduling problem with heads and tails, and reveals that suitably embedding the procedure within Carlier's algorithm makes feasible to solve all of the hard instances which could not be solved by its original variant.

Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness

TL;DR: The second edition of a quarterly column as discussed by the authors provides a continuing update to the list of problems (NP-complete and harder) presented by M. R. Garey and myself in our book "Computers and Intractability: A Guide to the Theory of NP-Completeness,” W. H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco, 1979.

TL;DR: In this article, the Schrage tree search problem has been shown to be NP-hard in the strong sense, and it is shown that the difference between the optimum and Schrage schedule is less than d 1.

On Scheduling with Ready Times and Due Dates to Minimize Maximum Lateness

TL;DR: An algorithm is developed for sequencing jobs on a single processor in order to minimize maximum lateness, subject to ready times and due dates, that has the unusual feature that a complete solution is associated with each node of the enumeration tree.
