Appendix: Upgrades, Upsells and Pricing in Revenue Management

چکیده
In this Appendix we first present the connection between the stochastic and the deterministic demand model used in Section 2 of the paper. We use the notation of the paper but also expand it as necessary to present the stochastic model and the results. In particular, we flesh out two dual based heuristics for the stochastic problem. Secondly, we briefly explain the connection between the stochastic formulation for the customer choice demand model with price freedom and the corresponding non-linear program analyzed in Section 3 of the paper. Thirdly, we extend the discussion and some of the results on fairness from Section 2 in the paper to the case when the products consume more than one resource. Finally, we present the proofs for all the propositions in the paper.

When prices are fixed and demands are independent, the problem is to decide which customer demands to upgrade to which products and when. We show that a fairness constraint can be imposed without loss of optimality under mild condit...
