| Abstract: | In this paper we consider the unbounded single machine parallel batch scheduling problem with family jobs and release dates to minimize makespan. We show that this problem is strongly NP-hard, and give an O(n(n/m+1)[sup m]) time dynamic programming algorithm and an O(mk[sup k+1]P[sup 2k−1]) time dynamic programming algorithm, where n is the number of jobs, m is the number of families, k is the number of distinct release dates and P is the sum of the processing times of all families. We further give a heuristic with a performance ratio 2. We also give a polynomial-time approximation scheme for the problem. |
