of shortage. Some general properties for the expected cost are derived under weak assumptions about the backorder rate … function. When the backorder rate is a linear function, some sufficient conditions for the global convexity of the expected … cost are derived. A sufficient condition for the local concavity of this function is also provided. Numerical examples are …
