Approximating weighted completion time via stronger negative correlation

Minimizing the weighted completion time of jobs in the unrelated parallel machines model is a fundamental scheduling problem. The first (3/2−𝑐) –approximation algorithm for this problem, for some constant 𝑐>0 , was obtained in the work of Bansal et al. (SIAM J Comput, 2021). A key ingredient in...
