| Abstract | This paper studies an online scheduling problem with immediate and reliable lead-time quotation. A manufacturer either accepts an order by quoting a reliable lead-time on its arrival or rejects it immediately. The objective is to maximize the total revenue of completed orders. Keskinocak et al. (Management Science 47(2):264–279, 2001) studied a linear revenue function in a discrete model with integer release time of order, and proposed a competitive strategy Q-FRAC. This paper investigates a relaxed revenue function in both discrete and continuous models where orders are released at integer and real time points, respectively. For the discrete model, we present a revised Q-FRAC strategy that is optimal in competitiveness for concave and linear revenue functions with unit length and uniform weight of order, improving the previous results in Keskinocak et al. (Management Science 47(2):264–279, 2001). For the scenario with uniform length $$p$$ and nonuniform weight of order, we prove an optimal strategy for the case with $$p=1$$ and the nonexistence of competitive strategies for the case with $$p>1$$ . For the continuous model, we present an optimal strategy in competitiveness for the case with uniform weight of order and linear revenue functions, and prove the nonexistence of competitive strategies for the other case with nonuniform weight of order. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
