Abstract

Scheduling with rejection is a representative and applied scheduling that emerged around 2000. It is one of the generalizations of the classical scheduling problems. In classical scheduling problems, it is assumed that all jobs have to be processed. However, in practice, for some special reasons, policy makers will reject the processing of some jobs. That is what we called job scheduling with rejection. It is noteworthy that the problem has a certain application background and great application value, and also has important significance in theory. The problem is gaining more and more attention recently and new results are welling up.In this paper, we give a comprehensive introduction to online and offline scheduling with job rejection. We also give abundant references, including many existing research results and new research directions. It's designed to help the interested readers rapidly to the research frontier.

Key words： scheduling with rejection; online scheduling; offline scheduling; approximation algorithm; complexity; competitive ratio; NP-Hard; PTAS; FPTAS
