In this paper, we consider a single-item dynamic lot-sizing problem where customers allow
their demand to be postponed within a given time window, but only to the first period
where a price discount is offrered. The goal is thus to determine the production quantities
and the periods in which price discounts are proposed to maximize the profit.
