Abstract

In this article, we consider the non-resumable case of the single machine scheduling problem with a fixed non-availability interval. We aim to minimize the makespan when every job has a positive tail. We propose a polynomial approximation algorithm with a worst-case performance ratio of 3/2 for this problem. We show that this bound is tight. We present a dynamic programming algorithm and we show that the problem has an FPTAS (Fully Polynomial Time Approximation Algorithm) by exploiting the well-known approach of Ibarra and Kim (J. ACM 22:463–468, 1975). Such an FPTAS is strongly polynomial. The obtained results outperform the previous polynomial approximation algorithms for this problem.
