Service is becoming the most key factor that influences the competitive advantage and system performance of a supply chain. This paper studies a supply chain consist of one supplier and one retailer in which the additional service can be offered by the latter to its customers to increase the demand and improve the system performance. Assuming the retailer is fair concerned, this article studies and...
This paper studies the effects of channel power structure and participants' risk-averse attitude on differentiated pricing policies of closed-loop supply chains. It is assumed that the manufacturer is risk-averse and the retailer is risk-neutral. The manufacturer's expected utility function and the retailer's expected profit function are obtained by mean-variance theory. Then the differentiated pricing...
In view of energy, mobility and degree of the nodes, a clustering algorithm is proposed which provides an effective method for establishing a hierarchical structure of the mobile ad hoc networks. Moreover, a repeated game model together with limited punishment mechanism is introduced for constraining the selfish nodes that deceive to avoid being cluster-heads to save energy. It is also proved that...
In this paper, an approach was proposed based on coalitional games to solve the problem that packets of boundary nodes cannot be forwarded. This approach can effectively motivate backbone nodes to forward packets for the boundary nodes. In order to prevent "monopoly" behavior of backbone nodes, we proposed auction mechanism for competition using auction theory. Finally, we develop a packet-forwarding...
