A CONTINUOUS INVENTORY PROBLEM.
Abstract
A basic inventory model which is concerned with stocking various amounts of n different items for a submarine going on patrol is considered. There are costs for overstocking and understocking each item, a probability distribution which specifies the probability that any number of each item will be required, and an overall volume constraint. The discrete model is then cast into continuous form and the resulting problem in constrained minimization is solved. (Author)
