contents This paper explores the critical domain of Revenue Management (RM) within Operations Research (OR), focusing on intricate pricing dynamics. Utilizing Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models, the study enhances revenue optimization by considering product prices as decision variables and emphasizing the interplay between demand and supply. Recent advancements in Discrete Choice Models (DCMs), particularly those rooted in Random Regret Minimization (RRM) theory, are investigated as potent alternatives to established Random Utility Maximization (RUM) based DCMs. Despite the widespread use of DCMs in RM, a significant gap exists between cutting-edge RRM-based models and their practical integration into RM strategies. The study addresses this gap by incorporating an advanced RRM-based DCM into MILP models, addressing pricing challenges in both capacitated and uncapacitated supply scenarios. The developed models demonstrate feasibility and offer diverse interpretations of consumer choice behavior, drawing inspiration from established RUM-based frameworks. This research contributes to bridging the existing gap in the application of advanced DCMs within practical RM implementations.
