Abstract

In this paper, we analyze a method that links Lagrange multipliers from a resource allocation problem to the problem of revenue or profit maximization. This technique, first proposed in the transportation science literature by [7] has important implications for telecommunication network pricing. Indeed, the framework provides a generalization of telecommunication resource allocation/shadow price-based schemes such as those of [6] and [9], in that it permits the optimization of the shadow prices themselves, through a computationally simple procedure. We analyze the extent to which revenue can be maximized on a network that uses shadow-price-based prices, and how to deal with cases of unbounded multipliers.
