Note—On the Single Machine Scheduling Problem with Quadratic Penalty Function of Completion Times: An Improved Branching Procedure

Management Science · 1984 · Volume 30 · Issue 5

Abstract

This paper gives optimality conditions to obtain a priori precedence relationships among some of the jobs in a single machine scheduling problem so as to curtail the enumeration while using branch-and-bound technique. The objective is to minimize a quadratic (or generalized quadratic) penalty function of job completion times.
