  • Abstract
    In this paper, we investigate the minimization of the makespan on two parallel machines with release dates. We propose two constant approximation heuristics with performance ratios of 2 and 3 = 2. Moreover, we show that the problem admits an FPTAS (fully polynomial-time approximation scheme). The above scheme is strongly polynomial.
