We consider a firm (e.g., retailer) selling a single nonperishable product over a finite-period planning horizon. Demand in each period is stochastic and price-dependent, and unsatisfied demands are backlogged. At the beginning of each period, the firm determines its selling price and inventory...

We consider a joint pricing and inventory control problem in which the customer's response to selling price and the demand distribution are not known a priori. Unsatisfied demand is lost and unobserved, and the only available information for decision-making is the observed sales data (a.k.a....

We consider the periodic review dynamic pricing and inventory control problem with fixed ordering cost. Demand is random and price dependent, and unsatisfied demand is backlogged. With complete demand information, the celebrated (s,S,p) policy is proved to be optimal, where s and S are the...

We consider a stylistic question of dynamic pricing of a single product with demand learning. The candidate prices belong to a wide range of price interval, and the modeling of the demand functions is nonparametric in nature, imposing only smoothness regularity conditions. One important aspect...
