Expected Additive Time-Separable Utility Maximizing Capacity Control in Revenue Management

Abstract
We briefly discuss the static capacity control problem from the perspective of an expected utility maximizing decision-maker with an additive time-separable utility function. Differences to the expected revenue maximizing case are demonstrated by means of an example.
