Abstract

In this paper we consider the semi-online scheduling problem with known partial information about job sizes on two identical machines, where all the jobs have processing times in the interval [p,tp](p0,t=1) and the maximum job size is tp. The objective is to minimize the makespan. For 1@?t=2, we obtain lower bounds t+12 and 43 on the optimal solution, respectively, which match the upper bounds given by He and Zhang (1999) in [2]. For 43@?t
