摘要:In this paper, we study the scheduling problem with rejection on two unrelated parallel machines. We may choose to reject some jobs, thus incurring the corresponding penalty. The goal is to minimize the makespan plus the sum of the penalties of the rejected jobs. We first formulate this scheduling problem into an integer program, then relax it into a linear program. From the optimal solution to the linear program, we obtain the two algorithms using the technique of linear programming rounding. In conclusion, we present a deterministic 3-approximation algorithm and a randomized 3-approximation algorithm for this problem.
