NOTES ON THE THEORY OF DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING---VI. THE WAREHOUSING MODEL

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to show how the functional equation technique of the theory of dynamic programming yields a very simple computational algorithm for the solution of mathematical models arising in stock level studies. A numerical solution of these problems relying upon linear programming techniques had previously been given by Charnes and Cooper.
