Abstract

This paper establishes a new preservation property of supermodularity in a class of two-dimensional parametric optimization problems, where the constraint sets may not be lattices. This property and its extensions unify several results in the literature and provide powerful tools to analyze a variety of operations models including a two-product coordinated pricing and inventory control problem with cross-price effects that we use as an illustrative example.
