Abstract

We explore the problem of scheduling n jobs on a single machine in which there are m fixed machine non-availability intervals. The target is to seek out a feasible solution that minimizes total weighted late work. Three variants of the problem are investigated. The first is the preemptive version, the second is the resumable version, and the third is the non-resumable version. For the first one, we present an $$O((m+n) \log n)$$ O ( ( m + n ) log n ) -time algorithm to solve it. For the second one, we develop an exact dynamic programming algorithm and a fully polynomial time approximation scheme. For the third one, we first demonstrate that it is strongly $$\mathcal{NP}\mathcal{}$$ NP -hard for the case where all jobs have the unit weight and common due date, and then we develop a pseudo-polynomial time algorithm for the unit weight case where the number of non-availability intervals is fixed, finally we propose a pseudo-polynomial time algorithm for the case where there is only one non-availability interval.
