Pricing and revenue maximization over a multicommodity transportation network: the nonlinear demand case

摘要

This paper is concerned with the design of efficient exact and heuristic algorithms for addressing a bilevel network pricing problem where demand is a nonlinear function of travel cost. The exact method is based on the piecewise linear approximation of the demand function, yielding mixed integer programming formulations, while heuristic procedures are developed within a bilevel trust region framework.
