Airline Seat Allocation under Competition with Dependent Demands
Michael Li Zhi-Feng

We examine a seat allocation game between two airlines for flights with two fares with dependent random demands. The strategic variable of this game is each airline’s booking limit for the low fare. We have shown that there exists an equilibrium booking strategy such that both airlines will protect the same number of seats for the full fare and the total number of seats available for the discount fare under competition is smaller than the total number of seats that would be available if the two airlines collude. A numerical example is used to illustrate the equilibrium solutions and to examine the impact of the capacity shares and the level of dependency between random demands. We conclude with some open questions for further research.
A Reservation Policy for Medical Diagnostic Resource Allocation

Medical diagnostic facilities such as CT or MRI, which form the critical part of a comprehensive health care system, play an important role in the proper diagnosis and timely treatment of diseases. Hospital managers are under great pressure to manage such facilities efficiently and effectively. This problem is critical in China, especially in the general hospitals. In this paper, we study the resource allocation problem of medical diagnostic facilities accessed by three types of patients. Both inpatients and outpatients have to make appointments in advance and emergency patients walk in directly. We formulate a dynamic programming model of the resource allocation problem and study the structural properties, based on which we fully characterize the optimal reservation policy. An upper-bound to the DP value is obtained from a standard ``hind-sight'' optimal argument, and is shown to be asymptotically optimal. A lower-bound to the DP is created through three independent newsvendor problems constrained by the capacity. The gap between the upper-bound and lower-bound is explicitly quantified. We then propose and compare three heuristic policies analytically. The process and data of West China Hospital are used for analysis and implementation. Numerical studies show that the performance of bounds works very well and our heuristic policy outperforms the hospital's baseline policy significantly.
Dynamic Nonlinear Pricing of Inventories over Finite Sales Horizons

We present three dynamic pricing models in a setting where customers can be incentivized to purchase multiple units. We assume a finite sales horizon with a sunk investment in limited inventories, where customer demands form a compound Poisson process that is price dependent. The dynamic linear pricing (DLP) model charges a uniform price that depends on the time-to-go and the remaining capacity. The dynamic package pricing (DPP) model allows complete freedom in pricing different package sizes. We also study dynamic block pricing (DBP) as an intermediate scheme where prices are linear within each block. For all models, we present analysis and structural results and compare their performance, both theoretically and numerically. We find that the potential revenue improvement of DPP over DLP ranges from 30% to 90%, depending on the purchase quantity. Our numerical studies reveal that DBP achieves more than 97% of the revenues from DPP.
