Asymmetric Weighted Earliness-Tardiness: Scheduling with a Nonrestrictive Common Due Date
Single-machine asymmetric weighted earliness--tardiness (AWET) scheduling asks how to sequence jobs around a common synchronization date when early and late completion incur unrelated job-dependent penalties. At the boundary nonrestrictive date $d=\sum_jp_j$, a compact V-shaped schedule reduces the continuous-time prob...
