چکیده
The newsvendor problem with pricing decision provides an important vehicle for examining how operational problems interacts with marketing issues to influence decision-making at the firm level. This paper considers the newsvendor problem with pricing and its extensions. We try to answer two questions: (1) how to model the price-dependent stochastic demand and (2) how to derive the combined pricing and inventory solutions. We identify a class of demand functions which can result in well behaved profit functions. A demand function can be divided into two parts: the mean demand and random demand. If the part of mean demand has increasing price elasticity (IPE) and the part of random demand has generalized strict increasing failure rate (GSIFR), then the expected profit of the newsvendor is unimodal or quasi-concave. This appears generalizing the existent models in the literature.

In this paper, we present a class of interactional programming model (IPM) for the coexistence of competitions and cooperations problems, which can be regarded as decision making problems, such as supply chains. We introduce the optimal solution to the IPM, which is ideal and often does not exist. Therefore, we give a new concept of s-optimal solution, which always exists under some conditions....

Multi Period–Multi Product (MPMP) production planning problems are well-known in the literature and several researches had been carried out in this area. However, designing a well organized control mechanism in terms of time– cost point of views had not been taken into considerations. In this paper, such a control mechanism is implemented successfully using earned value analysis which is well-k...

In this paper, we introduce the notions of (∈,∈ ∨ q)-N -ideals and (γ, δ)-N -ideals of subtraction algebras, which are generalization of N -ideals. Some characterization for these generalized N -ideals are derived. Also, we introduce the notions of (∈,∈ ∨ q)-N -ideals and N -ideals with thresholds of subtraction algebras. The characterization of N -ideals with thresholds by their closed (f, t)-...

One of the famous mathematical inequalities is Minkowski’s inequality. It is an important inequality from both mathematical and application points of view. In this paper, a Minkowski type inequality for fuzzy integrals is studied. The established results are based on the classical Minkowski inequality for integrals. Moreover, a generalized Minkowski type inequality for fuzzy integrals is sugges...

This paper introduces two uncertain continuous portfolio selection models under the assumption that securities follow uncertain differential equations. The models are established to be consistent with the goals of investors based on expected value criterion. Solution methods for the models are proposed based on the α-pathes of uncertain differential equation and genetic algorithm. An example is...
