Supply-Based Dynamic Ramsey Pricing with Two Sectors: Avoiding Water Shortages

Dynamic Pricing with Limited Supply ( extended abstract ) ∗

We consider the problem of designing revenue maximizing online posted-price mechanisms when the seller has limited supply. A seller has k identical items for sale and is facing n potential buyers (“agents”) that are arriving sequentially. Each agent is interested in buying one item. Each agent’s value for an item is an independent sample from some fixed (but unknown) distribution with support [...

economic pricing of water in agriculture using ramsey approach

the serious obstacles to improve water supply, has caused world debates, seeking some solutions to tackle the problem of shortages in water supply. t. therefore, programs and policies have focused mainly on appropriate pricing approachof. since the water industry in iran has been monopolized by the government, an effective pricing approach is assumed to maximize the social welfare with consider...

Star-Avoiding Ramsey Numbers

The graph Ramsey number R(G,H) is the smallest integer n such that every 2-coloring of the edges of Kn contains either a red copy of G or a blue copy of H . We find the largest star that can be removed from Kn such that the underlying graph is still forced to have a red G or a blue H . Thus, we introduce the star-avoiding Ramsey number r∗(G,H) as the smallest integer k such that every 2-colorin...

Pricing in a two-echelon supply chain with different market powers: game theory approaches

In this research, the optimal pricing decisions for two complementary products in a two-echelon supply chain under two scenarios are studied. The proposed supply chain in each echelon includes one retailer and two manufacturers and the same complementary products are produced. In the first scenario, we assume the unit manufacturing costs of the complementary products in each echelon are the sam...
