Abstract

Cheng and Chen (1994) use a high-multiplicity encoding scheme to prove binary NP-hardness of a scheduling problem. From this they infer a similar result for a well-known, more general problem. We explain that, although their initial proof is correct, their inference about the more general problem is not.
