Schedule Feasibility Check
Schedule Feasibility Check problems involve determining whether a set of scheduling constraints can be satisfied simultaneously. You need to check for contradictions or cycles in the constraints.

Introduction to Schedule Feasibility Check
Schedule Feasibility Check problems involve determining whether a set of scheduling constraints can be satisfied simultaneously. You need to check for contradictions or cycles in the constraints.
Prerequisites
How to Solve Schedule Feasibility Check Problems
Step 1: List all constraints (before, after, consecutive, etc.)
Step 2: Check for direct contradictions (e.g., A before B and B before A)
Step 3: Build constraint graph for before/after relations
Step 4: Check for cycles (cycle means impossible)
Step 5: If no cycles and no contradictions, schedule is feasible
Step 6: Answer Yes/No
Example Problem
Example: Constraints: A before B, B before C, C before A. Feasible? Solution: Step 1: A before B, B before C implies A before C Step 2: But C before A contradicts A before C Step 3: Cycle detected → impossible Answer: No
Pro Tips & Tricks
- Before constraints: A→B means A before B
- Cycle: A→B→C→A means impossible
- Consecutive constraints don't create cycles alone
- If no cycles, schedule is feasible (may not be unique)
