Abstract

We study a new class of capacitated economic lot-sizing problems. We show that the problem is NP-hard in general and derive a fully polynomial-time approximation algorithm under mild conditions on the cost functions. Furthermore, we develop a polynomial-time algorithm for the case where all cost functions are concave.
