Breaking symmetries to rescue Sum of Squares in the case of makespan scheduling
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print

Other Versions
In this paper, we study this for the case of the minimum makespan problem on identical machines. ...
Then, we consider the weaker assignment linear program and add a well chosen set of symmetry breaking inequalities that removes a subset of the machine permutation symmetries. ...
to yield a (1 + ε) integrality gap (and hence also the weaker assignment linear program below). ...

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that general convex programming techniques (apart from SDPs and CQPs) are used in the area of scheduling. ...
We consider the classical problem of scheduling parallel unrelated machines. Each job is to be processed by exactly one machine. Processing job j on machine i requires time pij . ...
There are several applications of linear programming relaxations for machine scheduling problems, see, e.g., [14, 16, 10, 4, 5] . ...

Finally, for the special case of two machines we introduce a more sophisticated semidefinite programming relaxation and apply the random hyperplane technique introduced by Goemans and Williamson for the ...
We also consider preemptive scheduling problems and derive approximation algorithms and results on the power of preemption which improve upon the best previously known results for these settings. ...

We present SDP relaxations for a variety of mutual-exclusion scheduling and timetabling problems, starting from a bound on the number of tasks executed within each period, which corresponds to graph colouring ...
