In a recent paper, Liu (2008) considers the lot-sizing problem with lower and upper bounds on the inventory levels. He proposes an O(n^2) algorithm for the general problem, and an O(n) algorithm for the special case with non-speculative motives. We show that neither of the algorithms provides an optimal solution in general. Furthermore, we propose a fix for the former algorithm that maintains the O(n^2) complexity.
