Abstract
Recently, Liu et al. (J Combin Optim 21:138–149, 2011) studied the semi-online scheduling problem on two machines under a grade of service provision. As the sum of jobs’ processing times Σ is known in advance and the processing times are bounded by an interval [1,α] where 1<α<2, they presented an algorithm which is (Formula Presented)-competitive when (Formula Presented). In this paper, we give a modified algorithm which is shown to be optimal for arbitrary α and Σ.
