Abstract: Two models of single machine scheduling  with general processing time functions are considered.  Job's processing time is assumed to be the sum of  basic processing time and a function of starting time or  a function of position.  For processing over starting time model, the makespan minimization problem and total completion time minimization problem are polynomially solvable under certain conditions, which have more generality compared with previous articles. For processing  over position  model, there are optimal schedules for makespan minimization problem and total completion time minimization problem.   A property of optimal schedule and a greedy algorithm for total weighted completion time minimization problem are presented.

Key words:  scheduling, single machine, processing time function, time dependent
