Abstract

This paper reviews the problems of Boolean non-linear programming related to the half-product problem. All problems under consideration have a similar quadratic non-separable objective function. For these problems, we focus on the development of fully polynomial-time approximation schemes, especially of those with strongly polynomial time, and on their applications to various scheduling problems.
