Abstract :
In this paper, we study a pricing-inventory model with multiple interdependent products and stochastic demand. In the relevant literature, there are many researches that try to optimize the inventory or price independently and also optimizing joint inventory and pricing problems for single product. But joint optimization of inventory and pricing for multiple interdependent products is relatively new and still there are many potential research gaps in this area. We show that the multiplicative demand form problem, that we develop, is a convex nonlinear programming (NLP) model or is convertible to it. We also provide upper and lower bounds for the additive demand form model.
