Abstract

For the bi-criteria scheduling problem of minimizing the sum of completion times and the sum of weighted completion times, min-sum of weighted completion times, we prove that there exists no constant @b1 such that (1+1/@c,@b)-approximate schedules can be found for any @c0. This result confirms a recently published conjecture.
