We analyze the classical inventory model with backordering, where the inventory position is controlled by an order level, order quantity policy. The cost for a backorder contains a fixed and a time-proportional component. Demand can be driven by any discrete process. Order lead times may be...

In the classical newsvendor model, when demand is represented by the normal distribution singly truncated at point zero, the standard optimality condition does not hold. Particularly, we show that the probability not to have stock-out during the period is always greater than the critical...

Set-valued optimisation is an important topic and has wide applications in engineering and game theory. An interesting topic in set-valued optimisation is the appropriate introduction of a derivative concept for set-valued mappings. In this paper, Dini directional derivatives are introduced and...
