Abstract

We propose a relaxed decision diagram (DD) formulation for obtaining lower bounds on uniform machine scheduling instances, based on separators to separate jobs on different machines. Experiments on the total tardiness for instances with tight due times show that for obtaining nontrivial bounds, it is important to partition the DD nodes on a layer based on their machine finishing time. When the number of jobs is small, DDs provide stronger bounds in less time than a time-indexed LP relaxation.
