Some new efficient methods to solve the $$n/1/r_ i/\sum{}T_ i$$ scheduling problem. (English) Zbl 0760.90055
Summary: We prove a sufficient condition for local optimality to solve the $$n/1/r_ i/\sum T_ i$$ scheduling problem which is known to be NP-hard. We then define a new dominant subset of schedules on the basis of this condition and propose several new approximate algorithms to construct schedules belonging to this subset. Numerical experiments enable us to compare them with classical approximate algorithms.
