In this paper we consider a practical scheduling problem commonly arising from batch production in a flexible manufacturing environment. Different part-types are to be produced in a flexible manufacturing cell organized into a two-stage production line. The jobs are processed in batches on the first

A new upper bound is obtained for the two-person symmetric rendezvous value on the real line when the distribution function of their initial distance apart is bounded. A second result shows that if three players are placed randomly on adjacent integers on the real line facing in random directions an
