Dynamic Pricing with Finitely Many Unknown Valuations
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
dynamic pricing when the distribution of buyers' private values is supported on an unknown set of points in [0,1] of unknown cardinality K. ...
This setting can be viewed as an instance of a stochastic K-armed bandit problem where the location of the arms (the K unknown valuations) must be learned as well. ...
In contrast with previous approaches, which typically assume parametric [10] or locally smooth [20] demand curves, our model with finitely many valuations is equivalent to assuming that the demand ...

The Promise and Perils of Myopia in Dynamic Pricing With Censored Information
2018
Proceedings of the Twenty-Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
In the partially censored case, we prove that myopic pricing with a Pareto prior is Bayes optimal and has finite regret. ...
A seller with unlimited inventory of a digital good interacts with potential buyers with i.i.d. valuations. ...
The buyers' valuations are i.i.d draws from a known distribution function f v (x) with unknown parameters. At each time t, the seller quotes a price q t . ...

Since the option price is incompatible with the Black-Scholes formula, the correct hedge ratio is unknown. . One cannot hedge continuously. ...

Learning Automata Based Method for Grid Computing Resource Valuation with Resource Suitability Criteria
2011
International Journal of Grid Computing & Applications
After allocate of resource, valuation of it based on its complete time is done. With this method the valuation of resource is based on their suitability for jobs execution. ...
Pricing policies are based on the demand from the users and the supply of resources is the main driver in the competitive, economic market model. ...

Adaptive Strategies for Dynamic Pricing Agents
2011
2011 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conferences on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology
We design two adaptive heuristic dynamic pricing strategies in a duopoly where each firm has a finite inventory of a single type of good. ...
We design adaptive dynamic pricing strategies and optimize their parameters with an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) offline while the strategies can deal with stochastic market dynamics quickly online. ...
In this paper we study dynamic pricing of a limited supply of goods in a competitive finite-horizon market. ...

Online Market Equilibrium with Application to Fair Division
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
We propose a simple, scalable and interpretable allocation and pricing dynamics termed as PACE. ...
When items are drawn i.i.d. from an unknown distribution (with a possibly continuous support), we show that PACE leads to an online market equilibrium asymptotically. ...
Since Θ is compact, it is measurable with a finite measure. For the finite case Θ = [m], we have s = (s 1 , . . . , s m ) ∈ R m + . ...

Revenue Maximizing Mechanisms with Strategic Customers and Unknown Demand: Name-Your-Own-Price
2014
Social Science Research Network
We characterize revenue maximizing direct mechanism and show that it can be implemented by a "Name-Your-Own-Price" dynamic auction mechanism. ...
This mechanism has many common features with the "Name Your Own Price" mechanism, pioneered by Priceline.com. ...
Moreover, the efficient dynamic allocation policy τ * is monotone with respect to valuations. Proof. ...

Using bid data for the management of sequential, multi-unit, online auctions with uniformly distributed bidder valuations
2010
European Journal of Operational Research
when bidder valuation distributions are known. ...
We have observed that many sellers, instead of offering their entire inventory in a single auction, split it into sequential auctions of smaller lots, thereby reducing the negative market impact of larger ...
It is typically more difficult to derive structural results for finite-horizon dynamic programs than for those with an infinitehorizon. ...

The standard profit-maximizing multiunit auction intersects the submitted demand curve with a preset reservation supply curve, which is determined using the distribution from which the buyers' valuations ...
The resulting profit converges to the optimal monopoly profit with known demand as the number of buyers goes to infinity, and convergence can be substantially faster than with sequential price experimentation ...

Prior-Free Dynamic Auctions with Low Regret Buyers
2019
Neural Information Processing Systems
In this work, we do away with this assumption and consider the prior-free setting where the buyer's value each round is chosen adversarially (possibly adaptively). ...
We show how to achieve the same approximation factor in the prior-independent setting (where the distribution is unknown to the seller), and an approximation factor of O(1/ log H) in the prior-free setting ...
The design space of dynamic auctions, in which a buyer bids on many items over the course of many rounds, is very rich and has room for exceedingly complex auctions. ...

Maximizing seller's profit for electronic commerce
[chapter]
1998
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The seller at each moment of time posts a price for his/her product. Based of the posted price, at each moment of time, a buyer decides whether or not to buy a unit of that product from the seller. ...
Further, we assume that the maximal unit price the buyer is willing to pay does not change over time. The question then is how should the seller price his/her product to maximize profits? ...
