In this setting, jobs have first-stage processing times p and second-stage processing times q and we aim to find a first-stage and second-stage schedule with a minimum combined sum of completion times, such that at least Delta jobs share the same position in both schedules. We provide positive complexity results for some important special cases of this problem, as well as derive a 2-approximation algorithm to the full problem. Computational experiments examine the performance of an exact mixed-integer programming formulation and the approximation algorithm, and demonstrate the strength of a proposed polynomial time greedy heuristic.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.09310v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.09310v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"recoverable-robust-single-machine-scheduling-1","repo_url":"https://github.com/boldm1/recoverable-robust-interval-SMSP","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
