Abstract

We discuss a number of polynomial time approximation results for scheduling problems. All presented results are based on the technique of rounding the optimal solution of an underlying linear programming relaxation. We analyse these relaxations, their integrality gaps, and the resulting approximation algorithms, and we derive matching worst-case instances.
