摘要:
We investigate the polyhedral structure of the lot-sizing problem with inventory bounds. We consider two models, one with linear cost on inventory, the other with linear and fixed costs on inventory. For both models, we identify facet-defining inequalities that make use of the inventory bounds explicitly and give exact separation algorithms. We also describe a linear programming formulation of the problem when the order and inventory costs satisfy the Wagner-Whitin nonspeculative property. We present computational experiments that show the effectiveness of the results in tightening the linear programming relaxations of the lot-sizing problem with inventory bounds and fixed costs.
