Firms typically require multiple sales observations under varying prices to understand how the demand for their items respond to price. In this paper, our partner online retailer is faced with the problem of reconstructing demand curves when only a single point on each curve has been...

In a dynamic pricing problem where the demand function is not known a priori, price experimentation can be used as a demand learning tool. Existing literature usually assumes no constraint on price changes, but in practice sellers often face business constraints that prevent them from conducting...

We consider the periodic review dynamic pricing and inventory control problem with fixed ordering cost. Demand is random and price dependent, and unsatisfied demand is backlogged. With complete demand information, the celebrated (s,S,p) policy is proved to be optimal, where s and S are the...

We study a single product pricing problem with demand censoring in an offline data-driven setting. In this problem, a retailer is given a finite amount of inventory, and faces a random demand that is price sensitive in a linear fashion with unknown price sensitivity and base demand distribution....

Motivated by the empirical evidence observed from the real-world dataset, this paper studies context-based dynamic pricing with separable demand models. Consider a seller selling products over a finite horizon of $T$ periods and facing an unknown expected demand function that admits a separable...
