Optimizing (s, S) policies for multi-period inventory models with demand distribution uncertainty: Robust dynamic programming approaches

We consider a finite-horizon single-product periodic-review inventory managementproblem with demand distribution uncertainty. We formulate the problemas a dynamic program and prove the existence of an optimal (s, S) policy. Thecorresponding dynamic robust counterpart models are then developed for th...
