## Abstract The paper examines all known special cases of the __m__X__n__ flowβshop problem. It provides solution procedures to three new special cases along with the optimality proofs. The theory of the new special cases is based on the critical path concept.

This paper deals with the problem of makespan minimization in a flow shop with two machines when the input buffer of the second machine can only host a limited number of parts. Here we analyze the problem in the context of batch processing, i.e., when identical parts must be processed consecutively.
The extremal solutions of the truncated L-problem of moments in two real variables, with support included in a given compact set, are described as characteristic functions of semi-algebraic sets given by a single polynomial inequality. An exponential kernel, arising as the determinantal function of
We consider the scheduling problems F2 "" C and F2"no-wait"C , i.e. makespan minimization in a two-machine flow shop, with and without no wait in process. For both problems solution algorithms based on sorting with O(n log n) running time are known, where n denotes the number of jobs. [1,2]. We pro
