Title: New results in the worst-case analysis of approximation algorithms for scheduling problems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:36084

In this paper we provide a review of recent results in the worst-cast analysis of approximation algorithms formulated for scheduling problems. Chiefly, tight evaluations of the worst-case performance ratio of nine (known from the literature) approximation algorithm for the flop shop problem are provided. There are considered equally constructive algorithms and those based on the local neighborhood search. Moreover, a new 3/2 approximation algorithm with O(nlog n) computational complexity for the single-machine scheduling problem with release times and delivery times is shown. Some conclusions obtained from the analysis are also discussed.
