We study the multi-agent scheduling on a single machine with a fixed number of competing agents, in which, the objective function of each agent is either the number of tardy jobs or the makespan, and the goal of the problem is to minimize the weighted sum of agents' objective functions. In the literature, the computational complexity of this problem was posed as open. By using enumerating, dynamic programming, and schedule-configuration, we show in this paper that the problem is solvable in polynomial time.
