On the convexity of the Hadley-Whitin lost sales inventory model and the characterization of its minimum solution

Approved for public release; distribution unlimited === A standard inventory model involving lost sales provided by a standard reference is examined for flaws in the derivation of its optimal solution. A revised set of arguments is presented and the optimal solution is then completely characteri...
