In this paper, we propose a characteristic function of the maxmax defensive-equilibrium representation that maps every TU-game with strategies to TU-game. This is given by two-step procedure in which each any two complementary coalitions successively selects equilibrium way maximizes its utility. We then investigate properties and present relations cores under three functions. Finally, as appli...

in the current study, the generalized maximum entropy (gme) and dynamic positive equilibrium problem (dpep) approach were introduced and used to estimate the set of dynamic supply functions of selected annual crops in mashhad-chenaran plain during the years 2003-2011.in addition, the allen and morishima elasticities of derived demand inputs, and supply elasticity of the crops were determined. t...

We consider competition between two decentralized supply chains network under demand uncertainty. Each chain consists of one risk-averse manufacturer and a group of risk-averse retailers. These two chains present substitutable products to the geographical dispensed markets. The markets’ demands are contingent upon prices, service levels, and advertising efforts of two supply chains. We formulat...

Producers submit committed supply functions to a procurement auction, e.g. an electricity auction, before the uncertain demand has been realized. In the Supply Function Equilibrium (SFE), every firm chooses the bid maximizing his expected profit given the bids of the competitors. In case of asymmetric producers with general cost functions, previous work has shown that it is very difficult to fi...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a multitiered dynamic supply chain network equilibrium modeling framework in which the decision-makers have sufficient information about the future and seek to determine their optimal plans that maximize their profits over the multiperiod planning horizon. We construct the finite-dimensional variational inequality governing the equilibrium of the multiperiod ...

A statistical approach to market equilibrium and efficiency analysis is proposed in this paper. One factor that governs the exchange decisions of traders in a market, named willingness price, is highlighted and constitutes the whole theory. The supply and demand functions are formulated as the distributions of corresponding willing exchange over the willingness price. The laws of supply and dem...

In this paper we study the problem of market equilibrium. Firstly we consider the model (Fischer model) where there is a supply of money associated with each buyer and a quantity associated with each item. The market equilibrium problem is to compute a price vector which ensures market clearing, i.e. the demand of a good equals its supply, and subject to his endowment, each buyer maximizes his ...

We model multistage competition in supply chains by a sequential game theoretical network. show the uniqueness of equilibrium for series parallel networks and provide linear time algorithm to compute equilibrium. study impact network structure on firms' payoffs, total trade flow, overall social welfare.

a comprehensive study of schottky barrier mosfet (sbmosfet) scaling issue is performed to determine the role of wafer orientation and structural parameters on the performance of this device within non-equilibrium green's function formalism. quantum confinement increases the effective schottky barrier height (sbh). (100) orientation provides lower effective schottky barrier height in comparison ...
