Explore how linear graphs model the sequencing of jobs through machines and learn how to build, count, and evaluate transitive scheduling structures.
This concise study connects practical scheduling problems to the theory of directed graphs. It introduces how jobs and machine stages can be represented as nodes and precedence relations, and it shows methods for constructing transitive graphs from components. You’ll see how to measure schedule efficiency with a recursive function and how bounds and counts guide algorithmic thinking for feasible schedules.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an analysis of scheduling problems in manufacturing and computing. It explores the linear graph theory framework for understanding the sequencing of jobs through machines, framing these problems in terms of a novel approach of specifying scheduling constraints. The author demonstrates methods of constructing transitive graphs from component graphs by connecting components with directed branches. This allows the chains containing a given machine designation to be simply ordered, and the sets of jobs to have the same ordering as the component. This approach is novel as it allows for efficient algorithms for the construction of transitive graphs using digital computers, and facilitates the study of the construction and counting of transitive schedule graphs. By characterizing the properties of these graphs, the text makes an important contribution to understanding the relationship between technological ordering and the construction of feasible schedules, and in turn the study of the function of schedule time.
