Minimizing a General Penalty Function on a Single Machine via Developing Approximation Algorithms and FPTASs

This paper addresses the Tardy/Lost penalty minimization on a single machine. According to this penalty criterion, if the tardiness of a job exceeds a predefined value, the job will be lost and penalized by a fixed value. Besides its application in real world problems, Tardy/Lost measure is a genera...
