We study network resource allocation under information asymmetry, i.e., users have private information regarding their utility functions. The service provider would like to design an incentive-compatible pricing scheme to maximize the social welfare. It is well known that there is a market...

Problem definition: We study the optimal inventory ordering, expediting and allocation decisions in a multi-echelon supply chain over a finite horizon, in which customer orders are quoted with a fixed fulfillment time window, termed the service time target (STT).Academic/Practical Relevance:...

We consider optimal inventory replenishment policies for capacitated 2-echelon serial inventory systems, where the capacity of upstream echelon can be the bottleneck. We show that the optimal replenishment decisions in each period can be made one echelon at a time by introducing a procedure that...
