The abstract follows.
We consider the 1 || ∑ wj Uj problem, the problem of minimizing the
weighted number of tardy jobs on a single machine. This problem is one
of the most basic and fundamental problems in scheduling theory, with
several different applications both in theory and practice. We prove
that 1 || ∑ wj Uj is W[1]-hard with respect to the number of different
processing times in the input, as well as with respect to the number of
different weights in the input. This, along with previous work, provides
a complete picture for 1 || ∑ wj Uj from the perspective of
parameterized complexity, as well as almost tight complexity bounds for
the problem under the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH). Based on joint
work with Danny Hermelin.
The next talk in our series will be:
Ceyda Oğuz (Koç University) | February 7 | A Matheuristic for the
Generalized Order Acceptance and Scheduling Problem.
