We consider two two-agent scheduling problems with deteriorating jobs and rejection. Two agents A and B compete for the usage of a single machine. The actual processing time of job J j X is p j X = b j X a + b t , X ∈ A , B , where b j X is the normal processing time of J j X , a ≥ 0 , b ≥ 0 and t denotes the starting time of J j X . A job is either rejected by paying a rejection penalty, or accepted and processed on the machine. The objective is to minimize the sum of the completion time of the accepted A -jobs and total rejection penalty of the rejected A -jobs subject to an upper bound on the sum of the given objective function f B of the accepted B -jobs and total rejection penalty of the rejected B -jobs, where f B ∈ C max B , ∑ C j B . We give dynamic programming algorithms for them, respectively. When f B = C max B , we present a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for the case a = 0 and b = 1 . When f B = ∑ C j B , a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme is also presented.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
