On Pricing Strategies for Stochastic Capacity Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies pricing strategies for networks with stochastic capacity variation. Call-level simulation is used to compare the profit generated with four different pricing models, and with different policies for the management of call dropping episodes in the network. Both user-oriented and network-oriented performance metrics are considered. The simulation results show that the choice of an optimal pricing strategy depends on the call dropping control policy used in the network, and vice versa. The NewestArrival call dropping policy provides surprisingly robust performance for the pricing strategies considered.

Joint pricing, inventory, and preservation decisions for deteriorating items with stochastic demand and promotional efforts
This study models a joint pricing, inventory, and preservation decision-making problem for deteriorating items subject to stochastic demand and promotional effort. The generalized price-dependent stochastic demand, time proportional deterioration, and partial backlogging rates are used to model the inventory system. The objective is to find the optimal pricing, replenishment, and preservation t...
متن کاملStrategies to Overcome Network Congestion in Infrastructure Systems
Networked Infrastructure systems deliver services and/or products from point to point along the network. Demand for the services provided by such systems is typically cyclic, creating inefficiencies in capacity utilization. Congestion pricing provides incentives to shift demand from peak time periods to lower demand periods. This effectively increases the capacity of the system without the need...

متن کاملTwo-Stage Stochastic Day-Ahead Market Clearing in Gas and Power Networks Integrated with Wind Energy
The significant penetration rate of wind turbines in power systems made some challenges in the operation of the systems such as large-scale power fluctuations induced by wind farms. Gas-fired plants with fast starting ability and high ramping can better handle natural uncertainties of wind power compared to other traditional plants. Therefore, the integration of electrical and natural gas syste...
