摘要:

L♮-凸性是离散凸分析的核心内容,近年来在运作管理研究中受到普遍关注,它能够为有效计算求解提供结构性的最优策略。本文对L♮-凸性的关键特征进行了综述,并对运作应用中网格规划的近期相关结果进行了总结。本文还建立了u-微分单调性和L♮-凸性的关系进行了分析。以易腐物库存模型和考虑随机容量的库存运输集成控制模型为例,对如何应用L♮-凸性相关技术进行了说明。

Abstract

L-convexity, one of the central concepts in discrete convex analysis, receives significant attentions in the operations literature in recent years as it provides a powerful tool to derive structures of optimal policies and allows for efficient computational procedures. In this paper, we present a survey of key properties of L-convexity and some closely related results in lattice programming, several of which were developed recently and motivated by operations applications. As a new contribution to the literature, we establish the relationship between a notion called m-differential monotonicity and L-convexity. We then illustrate the techniques of applying L-convexity through a detailed analysis of a perishable inventory model and a joint inventory and transshipment control model with random capacities.
