Sales applications are characterized by competitive settings and changing market environments. Hence, prices have to be adjusted frequently. We analyze stochastic dynamic pricing models under competition for the sale of durable goods. Given a competitor's pricing strategy, we show how to derive...

Most sales applications are characterized by competitive settings and limited demand information. Due to the complexity of such markets, smart pricing strategies are hard to derive. We analyze stochastic dynamic pricing models under competition for the sale of durable goods. In a first step, a...

Over the last decades, dynamic pricing has become increasingly popular. To solve pricing problems, however, is particularly challenging if the customers' and competitors' behavior are both strategic and unknown. Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods are promising for solving such dynamic problems...
