Each batch contains at most B jobs, and the processing time of a batch is equal to the longest processing time of the jobs in this batch. We prove this problem to be NP-hard. Furthermore, we present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) and a fully polynomial time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for this problem.展开更多

The jobs arrive simultaneously and have unit processing time. The goal is to minimize the total completion times. Having shown that the problem is NP-hard, we put forward three approximation schemes with worst case ratio 4, 2, and 3/2, respectively.展开更多
