Square roots do appear in optimal inventory https://www.wiley.com/legacy/wileychi/waters/supp/Equations.pdf In particular (S,s) models https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/jep.24.1.183 Cheers, Seb On 5 March 2018 at 21:33, Henry Baker <hbaker1@pipeline.com> wrote:
I seem to recall a classical inventory management problem whose optimum solution involves a sqrt function.
Since I never took a Operations Research course, I think that this problem showed up in a calculus class & used Lagrange multipliers.
But after Googling a while, I couldn't find it.
Anyone here recall a similar problem?
