Approximation algorithms for multi-agent scheduling to minimize total weighted completion time

We consider a multi-agent scheduling problem on a single machine in which each agent is responsible for his own set of jobs and wishes to minimize the total weighted completion time of his own set of jobs. It is known that the unweighted problem with two agents is NP-hard in the ordinary sense. For...
