Abstract
We study the on-line scheduling on an unbounded batch machine to minimize makespan. In this model, jobs arrive over time and batches are allowed limited restarts. Any batch that contains a job which has already been restarted once cannot be restarted any more. We provide a best possible on-line algorithm for the problem with a competitive ratio 32.
