We revisit the classical problem of minimizing the total flow time of jobs on a single machine in the online setting where jobs arrive over time. It has long been known that the Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) algorithm is optimal…

We consider an online preemptive scheduling problem where jobs with deadlines arrive sporadically. A commitment requirement is imposed such that the scheduler has to either accept or decline a job immediately upon arrival. The scheduler's…
