Parallel machine scheduling: formulate as difference constraints.
Analyze the parallel machine scheduling: formulate as difference constraints..
Examples
Input:"test_input_1"
Output:"output_1"
Input:"test_input_2"
Output:"output_2"
Hints
Model the problem by defining variables for start/end times of jobs on each machine, then express precedence constraints as inequalities (e.g., `end_time ≥ start_time + duration`).
Introduce auxiliary variables to represent machine availability (e.g., `machine_idle_time ≥ previous_job_end_time`) and link them to job scheduling constraints.
Transform the inequalities into a graph where nodes represent events (job starts/ends) and edges encode constraints, then apply the Bellman-Ford algorithm to detect feasible schedules or identify conflicts.
