Relationships Among Three Assumptions in Revenue Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
This note discusses the relationships among three assumptions that appear frequently in the pricing/revenue management literature. These assumptions are mostly needed for analytical tractability, and they have the common property of ensuring a well-behaved “revenue function.” The three assumptions are decreasing marginal revenue with respect to demand, decreasing marginal revenue with respect to price, and increasing price elasticity of demand. We provide proofs and examples to show that none of these conditions implies any other. However, they can be ordered from strongest to weakest over restricted regions, and the ordering depends upon the region.

On Assumptions Ensuring a Strictly Unimodal Revenue Function
This note discusses the relationships among three assumptions which appear frequently in the pricing literature. Each of these assumptions ensures that a “revenue function” is strictly unimodal over the region of interest. The three assumptions are decreasing marginal revenue with respect to demand, decreasing marginal revenue with respect to price and decreasing price elasticity of demand. We ...

متن کاملRelationships Among Forage and Litter Production in Three Grazing Intensities in Nodooshan Rangeland (Yazd, Iran)
Grazing management plays an important role in the continuous and economicutilization of pastures. Proper grazing management is a main factor for the accumulation ofplant litter which reduces soil erosion and increase the soil permeability to keep moremoisture in the soil. In current study, the effect of three different grazing intensities (low,moderate and high) along with the grazing gradient ...
متن کاملبرنامهریزی تصادفی بهینه‌سازی پایداردرآمد هتل
The successful application of "revenue management" in airline industry motivated hotel industry management as well as some researchers to apply the concept and techniques of revenue management to enhance the income of hotels. In this paper, we develop a multi objective model for hotel management in stochastic environments. Since demand for rooms, and in some cases the supply, is random we int...
متن کاملTransformation of optimization problems in revenue management, queueing system, and supply chain management
For revenue optimization problems in the literature on revenue management, supply chain management, and queueing systems, some assumptions (such as concavity of revenue functions or increasing generalized failure rate) are often needed to ensure the problems to be analytically tractable. We show that these assumptions are not necessary. For this, we present and study a parametric revenue maximi...
