This paper deals with an economic production quantity inventory model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items under inflationary conditions considering customer returns. We adopt a price-and time-dependent demand function. Also, the customer returns are considered as a function of both price and demand. The effects of time value of money are studied using the Discounted Cash Flow approach. The main objective is to determine the optimal selling price, the optimal replenishment cycles, and the optimal production quantity simultaneously such that the present value of total profit is maximized. An efficient algorithm is presented to find the optimal solution. Finally, numerical examples are provided to solve the presented inventory model using our proposed algorithm, which is further clarified through a sensitivity analysis. The results of analysing customer returns provide important suggestions to financial managers who use price as a control to match the quantity sold to inventory while maximizing revenues. The paper ends with a conclusion and an outlook to future studies.

JOINT PRICING AND REPLENISHMENT DECISIONS FOR NON-INSTANTANEOUS DETERIORATING ITEMS WITH PARTIAL BACKLOGGING, INFLATION- AND SELLING PRICE-DEPENDENT DEMAND AND CUSTOMER RETURNS Ghoreishi, Maryam; Mirzazadeh, Abolfazl; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Nakhai-Kamalabadi, Isa (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2015-07-01) This paper develops an Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with selling price- and inflation-induced demand under the effect of inflation and customer returns. The customer returns are assumed as a function of demand and price. Shortages are allowed and partially backlogged. The effects of time value of money are studied using the Discounted Cash Flow approach. The main objective is to determine the optimal selling price, the optimal length of time in which there is...
Calibration of stochastic models for interest rate derivatives Rainer, Martin (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) For the pricing of interest rate derivatives various stochastic interest rate models are used. The shape of such a model can take very different forms, such as direct modelling of the probability distribution (e.g. a generalized beta function of second kind), a short-rate model (e.g. a Hull-White model) or a forward rate model (e.g. a LIBOR market model). This article describes the general structure of optimization in the context of interest rate derivatives. Optimization in finance finds its particular app...
A deterministic inventory/production model with general inventory cost rate function and piecewise linear concave production costs Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Frenk, J. B. G. (Elsevier BV, 2007-05-16) We present a thorough analysis of the economic production quantity model with shortages under a general inventory cost rate function and piecewise linear concave production costs. Consequently, an effective solution procedure, particularly useful for an approximation scheme, is proposed. A computational study is appended to illustrate the performance of the proposed solution procedure.
Effective optimization with weighted automata on decomposable trees Ravve, E. V.; Volkovich, Z.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-02) In this paper, we consider quantitative optimization problems on decomposable discrete systems. We restrict ourselves to labeled trees as the description of the systems and we use weighted automata on them as our computational model. We introduce a new kind of labeled decomposable trees, sum-like weighted labeled trees, and propose a method, which allows us to reduce the solution of an optimization problem, defined in a fragment of Weighted Monadic Second Order Logic, on such a tree to the solution of effec...
New approaches to regression by generalized additive models and continuous optimization for modern applications in finance, science and technology Taylan, P.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Beck, A. (Informa UK Limited, 2007-10-01) Generalized additive models belong to modern techniques frorn statistical learning, and are applicable in many areas of prediction, e.g. in financial mathamatics, computational biology, medicine, chemistry and environmental protection. In these models, the expectation of response is linked to the predictors via a link function. These models are fitted through local scoring algorithm using it scatterplot smoother as building blocks proposed by Hastie and Tibshirani (1987). In this article, we first give it s...
