We study the problem of finding a most profitable subset of n given tasks, each with a given start and finish time as well as profit and resource requirement, that at no time exceeds the quantity B of available resource. We show that this NP-hard Resource Allocation problem can be (1/2 - ε)-approximated in polynomial time, which improves upon earlier approximation results for this problem, the best previously published result being a 1/4-approximation. We also give a simpler and faster 1/3-approximation algorithm.
