Abstract:
We consider the two-machine routing open shop problem on a two-node network. The problem is ordinary NP-hard. We present an exact pseudo-polynomial algorithm and a fully polynomial time approximation scheme for the considered problem. We also point out new polynomially solvable subproblems. Ill. 6, tab. 1, bibliogr. 8.
Keywords:open shop, routing, fully-polynomial time approximation scheme.
