Abstract
The aim of this paper is to develop improved polynomial-time approximation algorithms belonging to the family of the fully polynomial time approximation schemes (FPTAS) for a group of scheduling problems. In particular, the new technique provides a positive answer to a question posed more than three decades ago by Gens and Levner [G.V. Gens and E.V. Levner, Discrete Appl. Math.
