Abstract
This paper considers the scheduling problem with rejection on m identical parallel machines to minimize the maximum flow time. The authors show that this problem is NP-hard even when there is a single machine and all jobs have two distinct release dates. Furthermore, the authors present a dynamic programming algorithm and two approximation algorithms to solve them.
