Researchers have developed a new framework for offline dynamic pricing that addresses scenarios where historical data incompletely covers the price space. This framework utilizes demand monotonicity to bound the value of unobserved prices, leading to two distinct decision rules: a pessimistic policy for revenue stability and an opportunistic policy for minimizing regret. The study establishes finite-sample regret bounds and demonstrates through simulations and an airline ticket application that these methods outperform standard offline reinforcement learning baselines in no-coverage settings.
