Abstract: Abstract In supply chain management and other operations management applications, various discrete convexities are important tools in modeling complementary or supplementary behaviors. Furthermore, the discrete nature of many decision scenarios also requires optimization tools from discrete convex theory. In this chapter, we aim at introducing the classical discrete convex theory from the perspective of supply chain applications. We illustrate some direct applications and connections in supply chain applications. Certain proofs are modified/shortened, to fit into the scope of this chapter.
