[HTML][HTML] Can accessing much data reshape the theory? Inventory theory under the challenge of data-driven systems

NK Erkip - European Journal of Operational Research, 2023 - Elsevier
In this review, we discuss the data-driven systems and their effects on the implementation of
the inventory theory. After overviewing the theory briefly, we group the data-driven …

Online learning and pricing for service systems with reusable resources

H Jia, C Shi, S Shen - Operations Research, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
We consider a price-based revenue management problem with finite reusable resources
over a finite time horizon T. Customers arrive following a price-dependent Poisson process …

Phase transitions and cyclic phenomena in bandits with switching constraints

D Simchi-Levi, Y Xu - Advances in Neural Information …, 2019 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We consider the classical stochastic multi-armed bandit problem with a constraint on the
total cost incurred by switching between actions. Under the unit switching cost structure …

Data-based dynamic pricing and inventory control with censored demand and limited price changes

B Chen, X Chao, Y Wang - Operations Research, 2020 - pubsonline.informs.org
A firm makes pricing and inventory replenishment decisions for a product over T periods to
maximize its expected total profit. Demand is random and price sensitive, and unsatisfied …

Online learning and pricing with reusable resources: Linear bandits with sub-exponential rewards

H Jia, C Shi, S Shen - International Conference on Machine …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
We consider a price-based revenue management problem with reusable resources over a

Novel pricing strategies for revenue maximization and demand learning using an exploration–exploitation framework

D Elreedy, AF Atiya, SI Shaheen - Soft Computing, 2021 - Springer
The price demand relation is a fundamental concept that models how price affects the sale
