In the paper Li et al. [A robust branch-and-cut approach for the minimum-energy symmetric network connectivity problem. Omega 2012;40:210–7] it is claimed that a theoretical result appeared in Montemanni and Gambardella [Exact algorithms for the minimum power symmetric connectivity problem in...

This paper considers open-shop scheduling with no intermediate buffer to minimize total tardiness. This problem occurs in many production settings, in the plastic molding, chemical, and food processing industries. The paper mathematically formulates the problem by a mixed integer linear program....
