Abstract

In this paper, a class of single machine scheduling problems is considered. It is assumed that job processing times and due dates can be uncertain and they are specified in the form of discrete scenario set. A probability distribution in the scenario set is known. In order to choose a schedule, some risk criteria such as the value at risk and conditional value at risk are used. Various positive and negative complexity results are provided for basic single machine scheduling problems. In this paper, new complexity results are shown and some known complexity results are strengthened.
