| Résumé : | In this paper, we consider the unbounded parallel-batch scheduling with rejection. A job is either rejected, in which case a certain penalty has to be paid, or accepted and processed in batches on a machine. The processing time of a batch is defined as the longest processing time of the jobs contained in it. Four problems are considered: (1) to minimize the sum of the total completion time of the accepted jobs and the total rejection penalty of the rejected jobs; (2) to minimize the total completion time of the accepted jobs subject to an upper bound on the total rejection penalty of the rejected jobs; (3) to minimize the total rejection penalty of the rejected jobs subject to an upper bound on the total completion time of the accepted jobs; (4) to find the set of all the Pareto optimal schedules. We provide a polynomial-time algorithm for the first problem. Furthermore, we show that all the other three problems are binary NP-hard and present a pseudo-polynomial-time algorithm and a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme for them. |
