Analysis of a time-dependent scheduling problem by signatures of deterioration rate sequences Original Research Article

In the paper a single machine time-dependent scheduling problem is considered. The processing time image of each job is described by a function of the starting time t of the job, image, where the job deterioration rate image for image and image. Jobs are nonpreemptable and independent, there are no ready times and no deadlines. The criterion of optimality of a schedule is the total completion time.
