In this paper, we study a scheduling problem on a single machine, provided that the jobs have individual release dates and deadlines, and the processing times are controllable. The objective is to find a feasible schedule that minimizes the total cost of reducing the processing times. We reformulate the problem in terms of maximizing a linear function over a submodular polyhedron intersected with a box. For the latter problem of submodular optimization, we develop a recursive decomposition algorithm and apply it to solving the single machine scheduling problem to achieve the best possible running time.
