We have n jobs with release times and due-dates to be scheduled on a single-machine that can handle at most one job at a time. Our objective is to minimize the number of late jobs, ones completed after their due-dates. This problem is known to be solvable in time O(n4). We show that the special case of the problem when job processing times and due-dates are tied so that for each pair of jobs i, j with di dj, pi ≥ pj, can be solved in time O(n2). This particular setting has real-life applications.
