We analyze an infinite-buffer batch-size-dependent batch-service queue with Poisson arrival and arbitrarily distributed service time. Using supplementary variable technique, we derive a bivariate probability generating function from which the joint distribution of queue and server content at departure epoch of a batch is extracted and presented in terms of roots of the characteristic equation. We also obtain the joint distribution of queue and server content at arbitrary epoch. Finally, the utility of analytical results is demonstrated by the inclusion of some numerical examples which also includes the investigation of multiple zeros.

A batch service queue is considered where each batch size and its time of service is subject to control. Costs are incurred for serving the customers and for holding them in the system. Viewing the system as a Markov decision process (i.e., dynamic program) with unbounded costs, we show that policies which minimize the expected continuously discounted cost and the expected cost per unit time over an infinite time horizon are of the form: at a review point when x customers are waiting, serve min {x, Q} customers (Q being the, possibly infinite, service capacity) if and only if x exceeds a certain optimal level M. Methods of computing M for both the discounted and average cost contexts are presented.
