ABSTRACT:
Computer-implemented systems and methods for regular pricing optimization. A system can include decomposing a pricing situation into sub-problems. A non-linear optimization problem is solved to determine continuous optimal prices. A mixed integer linear programming problem is solved to snap prices to grid points.
