Abstract

We examine the uncapacitated single-item lotsizing problem with backlogging and start-up costs where Wagner-Whitin costs are assumed. We generalize some theoretical results obtained in [5] for the polyhedral description of the convex hull of feasible solutions for models that can be viewed as particular cases of the one treated in this paper (models without start-up costs and models where backlog is not allowed). In the presence of Wagner-Whitin costs (which satisfy p"t+h@?"t^+-p"t"+"1=0, for 0==0, for 1=
