Operations problems with popularity effect Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, United States of America We consider the firm maximizes the total expected revenue over a finite time horizon by optimizing the assortment/pricing of each time period. Customers make choices under MNL with popularity effect, which also considers the historical sales. The optimal prices can be solved by concave programming. The heuristic algorithms we propose for assortment optimization have a 1/T performance ratio in the general case, and the ratio improves to 1/ln(T) when the product's utility is constant over time.
