A significant extension of the classic EOQ model is the assumption that realized demand decreases if customers are forced to backorder. To capture the way this decrease depends on the waiting time, different functional forms have been proposed, ranging from the simple (e.g., constant or linear...

In this paper, we consider a particular class of variational relation problem namely linear variational relation problem wherein the sets are defined by linear inequalities. The purpose is to study the existence of the solution set and its nature for this class of problem. Using these results,...
