摘要: Leung等(Preemptive multiprocessor order scheduling to minimize total weighted flowtime [J]. European Journal of Operational Research, 2008, 190: 40-51)研究了如下问题: 有 n 个订单, 其中每个订单 i 含有 n_i 个不同的工件. 所有的订单在零时刻已经到达, 并且工件的加工是可中断的. 每个订单 i有一个权重 \omega_i, 定义订单 i 的完工时间 C_i 为订单 i 最后一个完工工件的完工时间. 目标是找到一个可行排序使得加权总完工时间\sum\limits_{i=1}^n \omega_iC_i 最小. Leung等证明了这个问题是NP-难的, 给出了一个近似算法, 并且分析了该算法的最坏情况界. 但是定理2的证明存在一些错误. 证明了尽管定理2的证明过程存在错误, 但是其结论仍然正确. 另外, 对上述模型的一种特殊情形给出了更好的近似算法.

Abstract: Leung等(Preemptive multiprocessor order scheduling to minimize total weighted flowtime [J]. European Journal of Operational Research, 2008, 190: 40-51) study the following problem: there are n orders each of which requests various quantities of the different product types. All the orders are available for processing at time t=0, and preemption is allowed. Order i has a weight \omega_{i} and its completion time is the time when its last requested product type is completed. The goal is to find a preemptive schedule such that the total weighted completion time \sum\limits_{i=1}^n\omega_{i}C_{i} is minimized. They show that this problem is NP-hard and propose a heuristic with worst-case ratio analysis. When reading the proof of Theorem 2 in this paper, we find that some statements are not correct. In this paper, we show that although the proof of Theorem 2 is not valid, the conclusion is still right. Furthermore, we propose an improved approximation algorithm for a special case.

Key words: scheduling, approximation algorithm, NP-hard
