Quasi-PTAS for Scheduling with Precedences using LP Hierarchies
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
We show that for fixed m and ϵ, ( n)^O(1) rounds of Sherali-Adams hierarchy applied to a natural LP of the problem provides a (1+ϵ)-approximation algorithm running in quasi-polynomial time. ...
A central problem in scheduling is to schedule n unit size jobs with precedence constraints on m identical machines so as to minimize the makespan. ...
Acknowledgements We would to like to thank Seeun William Umboh, Martin Böhm and Nikhil Bansal for helpful discussions throughout this work. ...

A (1+epsilon)-Approximation for Makespan Scheduling with Precedence Constraints using LP Hierarchies
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
We prove that for any fixed ε and m, an LP-hierarchy lift of the time-indexed LP with a slightly super poly-logarithmic number of r = ((n))^Θ( n) rounds provides a (1 + ε)-approximation. ...
In a classical problem in scheduling, one has n unit size jobs with a precedence order and the goal is to find a schedule of those jobs on m identical machines as to minimize the makespan. ...
The main claim is that for any interval I * , LP-hierarchy solution x * and a set of jobs J * with x * j,I * = 1 we can schedule almost all jobs from J * within I * while respecting all precedence constraints ...

Towards PTAS for Precedence Constrained Scheduling via Combinatorial Algorithms
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
For this problem, we show that the conditioning operations on the lifted LP solution can be replaced by making guesses about the optimum schedule. ...
We study the classic problem of scheduling n precedence constrained unit-size jobs on m = O(1) machines so as to minimize the makespan. ...
If we use the LP hierarchy framework, we need 1-level in the LP hierarchy for each guess, which corresponds to a multiplicative factor of poly(n) in the running time. ...

Scheduling with Communication Delays via LP Hierarchies and Clustering
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
We consider the classic problem of scheduling jobs with precedence constraints on identical machines to minimize makespan, in the presence of communication delays. ...
Even for a special case where an unlimited number of machines is available, the best known approximation ratio is 2/3 · (c+1), whereas Graham's greedy list scheduling algorithm already gives a (c+1)-approximation ...
