Abstract

We consider a single machine scheduling problem with two min-sum objective functions: the sum of completion times and the sum of weighted completion times. We propose a simple polynomial time (1+(1/@c),1+@c)-approximation algorithm, and show that for @c1, there is no (x,y)-approximation with 1
