Deep Neural Networks Solve High-Dimensional Inventory Problems

Researchers have developed a new simulation-based computational method using deep neural networks to solve high-dimensional stochastic joint replenishment problems. This approach approximates the discrete-time problem with a continuous-time impulse control problem, leveraging connections to backward stochastic differential equations and stochastic target problems. The resulting implementable inventory control policy has demonstrated performance matching or exceeding existing benchmarks in test cases up to 50 dimensions. AI

    A Computational Method for Solving the Stochastic Joint Replenishment Problem in High Dimensions

    arXiv:2511.11830v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We consider a discrete-time formulation for a class of high-dimensional stochastic joint replenishment problems. First, we approximate the problem by a continuous-time impulse control problem. Exploiting connections among …
