ABSTRACT:
A price optimization system computes a preferred set of prices for a plurality of products. The optimization system stores a plurality of rules. The system may also prioritize the plurality of rules, and further relax lower priority rules to allow higher priority rules to become feasible. The feasible set of rules may then be utilized to generate the preferred set of prices.
