We consider the problem of scheduling permanent jobs on related machines in an on-line fashion. We design a new algorithm that achieves the competitive ratio ' of 3 q 8 f 5.828 for the deterministic version, and 3.31rln 2.155 f 4.311 for its randomized variant, improving the previous competitive rat
O n -competitive algorithm. In addition, trying to overcome the โ n lower bound for the case of unknown task duration, this paper initiates a study of the ลฝ load balancing problem for tasks with known duration i.e., the duration of a task . ลฝ . becomes known upon its arrival . For this case we show
A graph G is balanced if the maximum ratio of edges to vertices, taken over all subgraphs of G, occurs at G itself. This note uses the max-flow/min-cut theorem to prove a good characterization of balanced graphs. This characterization is then applied to some results on how balanced graphs may be com
