This paper tries to incorporate both Chung and Huang (2003b) and Huang and Chung (2003) to develop the buyer’s inventory model. That is, we want to investigate the buyer’s optimal cycle time and optimal payment time under supplier’s trade credit policy and cash discount policy. Mathematical models have been derived for obtaining the optimal cycle time and optimal payment time for item under sup...

In this study, from the user’s perspective, a spare ordering policy for replacement of a non-repairable product/one-unit system, which with finite useful lifetime limit under a rebate warranty, is developed. The spare unit for replacement is available only by an order and the lead-time for delivering that spare is random. By introducing the gain due to rebate warranty, and the costs due to orde...

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) allows each autonomous system (AS) to select routes to destinations based on semantically-rich and locally-determined policies. This autonomously exercised policy freedom can cause instability, where unresolvable policy-based disputes in the network result in interdomain route oscillations. Several recent works have established that such instabilities can only ...

We make a novel connection between an energy-efficient wireless transmission scheduling problem and a multi-period, multi-item inventory control problem with stochastic convex ordering costs, deterministic demands, and a joint budget constraint. In the special case of a single item, we show that a state-dependent modified base-stock policy is optimal when the stochastic ordering costs are linea...

This paper considers a single-echelon, continuous review, inventory system with a warehouse facing compound Poisson customer demand. The replenishment lead-time is constant. Demand that cannot be met directly is backordered. There are standard linear holding and backorder costs but no set-up or ordering cost. It is assumed that the demand process starts at a certain given time. Consequently, be...
