Optimal Strategies for the Multi-Task Inventory Control Model

  • Published:
Cybernetics and Systems Analysis Aims and scope

Abstract

We consider the control problem for Markov processes with discrete time. The multi-task model of inventory control for decreasing functions of general costs is analyzed and the existence conditions for the optimal strategy are found. The existence of optimal (s, S)-strategy in inventory control is proved.
