Abstract

We consider the problem of minimizing the makespan in open shop scheduling. The decision problem whether a given sequence in open shop scheduling is irreducible has already been considered, however, has not been solved yet. A sequence is an acyclic orientation of the Hamming graph K n ×K m . Irreducible sequences in open shop are the local optimal elements. We present two variants of algorithms based on the specific properties of the H-comparability graph. The first is polynomial whereas the second is exponential. The irreducibility is co-NP. The stated properties argue whether it belongs to P. The complexity status of the considered decision problem is updated. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012
