Some Analytical Results for a Two‐Product Newsboy Problem
针对双产品报童问题中最大化达到利润目标概率的决策，本文在需求均匀分布下给出了解析解法，证明并解释了数值研究中未能说明的若干性质。
ABSTRACT A recent Decision Sciences paper considered maximizing the probability of achieving a profit target in a two‐product newsboy problem. Numerical solutions to this problem revealed some intriguing properties, but the authors were unable to analytically explain many of their results. This paper presents an analytical solution procedure to this problem for the case of uniformly distributed demands. The analytical structure reveals more intriguing properties and these properties are proven and explained.
