Algorithms for scheduling and network problems. Doctoral thesis

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6098008

In this thesis we develop algorithms for two basic classes of problems in combinatorial optimization: deterministic machine scheduling and network optimization. In the first part of the thesis we consider approximation algorithms for two basic scheduling environments: shop scheduling and parallel machine scheduling. The authors give approximation algorithms for shop scheduling that significantly improve upon the performance of previous algorithms. They then study on-line approximation algorithms for parallel machine scheduling. In the second part of the thesis they present several theoretical and practical results about parallel algorithms for network optimization problems.
