Abstract
Recently Koulamas and Kyparisis [Koulamas, C., Kyparisis, G.J., in press. Single-machine scheduling with past-sequence-dependent setup times. European Journal of Operational Research] introduced past-sequence-dependent setup times to scheduling problems. This means that the setup time of a job is proportionate to the sum of processing times of the jobs already scheduled. Koulamas and Kyparisis [Koulamas, C., Kyparisis, G.J., in press. Single-machine scheduling with past-sequence-dependent setup times. European Journal of Operational Research] were able to show for a number of single-machine scheduling problems with completion time goals that they remain polynomially solvable. In this paper we extend the analysis to problems with due dates. We demonstrated that some problems remain polynomially solvable. However, for some other problems well-known polynomially solution approaches do not guarantee optimality any longer. Consequently we concentrated on finding polynomially solvable special cases.
