Abstract

In this paper, we consider the minimization of the total weighted earliness-tardiness penalty of jobs, regarding the partial precedences between jobs. We present an optimal scheduling algorithm in O(n(n+m log m)) where n is the number of jobs and m is the number of partial precedences. In the algorithm, the optimal schedule is constructed iteratively by considering each group of contiguous jobs as a block that is represented by a tree.
