Abstract

We present an O (n2) dynamic programming algorithm for lot sizing with inventory bounds and fixed costs, where n is the number of time periods. The algorithm utilizes a hierarchy of two layers of value functions and improves the complexity bound of an earlier O (n3) algorithm for concave-cost and bounded inventory.
