| dc.description.abstract | In project scheduling, resource constraints are usually defined via resource consumption and -availability. Many algorithmic approaches, however, are based on the concept of minimal forbidden sets to represent the resource constraints. Jobs of a forbidden set can be scheduled simultaneously with respect to the precedence constraints, however, they consume more resources than available. Forbidden sets are usually not given explicitly, and by definition even the number of inclusion-minimal forbidden sets may be exponential in the number of jobs. In this paper, we propose a simple branch-and-bound type algorithm to efficiently compute and represent all minimal forbidden sets for a given instance. We evaluate the algorithm on well established test sets of the project scheduling problem library PSPLIB. In addition, we exhibit intimite relations between the different representations of resource constraints and threshold hypergraphs. | en |
