ABSTRACT
This article studies a single-machine scheduling problem with DeJong's effect and a machine availability constraint taking the total completion time as the objective function. Firstly, a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) was given for the problem, and afterwards that FPTAS was extended for the single-machine scheduling problem with deteriorating jobs, DeJong's learning effect and a machine availability constraint.
