  • Abstract
    This paper investigates the generalized machine covering problem on two parallel identical machines with non-simultaneous machine available times. For the semi-online version with the jobs arrive sorted by non-increasing sizes and the total processing time of all jobs known in advance, the aim of this paper is to obtain its optimal algorithm. The result of this paper is that a lower bound is analyzed by an adversary argument and an optimal algorithm with competitive ratio 6/5 is presented.
