Scheduling a deteriorating maintenance activity on a single machine

We study a problem of scheduling a maintenance activity on a single machine. Following several recent papers, the maintenance is assumed to be deteriorating, that is, delaying the maintenance increases the time required to perform it. The following objective functions are considered: makespan, flowtime, maximum lateness, total earliness, tardiness and due-date cost, and number of tardy jobs. We introduce polynomial time solutions for all these problems.
