Improved Bounds on Relaxations of a Parallel Machine Scheduling Problem
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs with release dates on m identical parallel machines to minimize the average completion time of the jobs. We prove that the ratio of the...

On the Combinatorial Multi-Armed Bandit Problem with Markovian Rewards
We consider a combinatorial generalization of the classical multi-armed bandit problem that is defined as follows. There is a given bipartite graph of M users and N M resources. F...

Online Scheduling to Minimize the Maximum Delay Factor
In this paper two scheduling models are addressed. First is the standard model (unicast) where requests (or jobs) are independent. The other is the broadcast model where broadcast...

Minimizing Maximum Response Time and Delay Factor in Broadcast Scheduling
We consider online algorithms for pull-based broadcast scheduling. In this setting there are n pages of information at a server and requests for pages arrive online. When the serv...

An approximation scheme for two-machine flowshop scheduling with setup times and an availability constraint
This paper studies the two-machine permutation flowshop scheduling problem with anticipatory setup times and an availability constraint imposed only on the first machine. The obje...
