Abstract: We study the problem of scheduling jobs with release times and due-dates on a single machine with the objective to minimize the maximal job lateness. This problem is strongly NP-hard, however it is known to be polynomially solvable for the case when the processing times of some jobs are restricted to either $p$ or $2p$, for some integer $p$. We present a polynomial-time algorithm when job processing times are less restricted; in particular, when they are mutually divisible. We first consider the case when the following condition holds: for any pair of jobs, if one is longer than another then the due-date of the former job is no larger than that of the latter one. We also study cases when a slight modification of our algorithm gives an optimal solution for the version without the restriction on job due-dates.
