We consider the classical problem of Scheduling on Unrelated Machines. In this problem a set of jobs is to be distributed among a set of machines and the maximum load (makespan) is to be minimized. The processing time pij of a job j depends on the machine i it is assigned to. Lenstra, Shmoys and Tardos gave a polynomial time 2-approximation for this problem [8]. In this paper we focus on a prominent special case, the Restricted Assignment problem, in which pij ∈ {pj, ∞}. The configuration-LP is a linear programming relaxation for the Restricted Assignment problem. It was shown by Svensson that the multiplicative gap between integral and fractional solution, the integrality gap, is at most 2 − 1/17 ≈ 1.9412 [11]. In this paper we significantly simplify his proof and achieve a bound of 2 − 1/6 ≈ 1.8333. As a direct consequence this provides a polynomial (2 − 1/6 + )-estimation algorithm for the Restricted Assignment problem by approximating the configuration-LP. The best lower bound known for the integrality gap is 1.5 and no estimation algorithm with a guarantee better than 1.5 exists unless P = NP.
