Abstract
In this paper we consider two semi-online scheduling problems with rejection on two identical machines. A sequence of independent jobs are given and each job is characterized by its size (processing time) and its penalty, in the sense that, jobs arrive one by one and can be either rejected by paying a certain penalty or assigned to some machine. No preemption is allowed. The objective is to minimize the sum of the makespan of schedule, which is yielded by all accepted jobs and the total penalties of all rejected ones. In the first problem one can reassign several scheduled jobs in rejection tache, in the second a buffer with length
