This scheduling problem is NP-hard in general. We divide it into eight subcases. Except for the following two subcases： （1） b≥ an, max{m, B} 〈 n; （2） a1 ≤ b ≤ an, m ≤ B 〈 n, for all other subcases, their NP-hardness was proved or pointed out, corresponding approximation algorithms were conducted and their worst-case performances were estimated. In all these approximation algorithms, the Multifit and PTAS algorithms were respectively used, as the jobs were scheduled in m identical parallel machines.展开更多

The processing time of job Jj on any of m identical parallel machines is aj≡a （j∈N）, and the processing time of job Jj is bj（j∈N） on a batch processorM. We take makespan （Cmax） as our minimization objective. In this paper, for the problem of FSMP-BI （m identical parallel machines on the first stage and a batch processor on the second stage）, based on the algorithm given by Sung and Choung for the problem of 1 ｜ri, BI｜Cmax under the constraint of the given processing sequence, we develop an optimal dynamic programming Algorithm H1 for it in max {O（nlogn）, O（nB）} time. A max {O（nlogn） , O（nB）}time symmetric Algorithm H2 is given then for the problem of BI-FSMP （a batch processor on the first stage and m identical parallel machines on the second stage）.展开更多
