in this article, a finite horizon, multi product and multi period economic order quantity like seasonal items is considered where demand rate is deterministic and known but variable in each period. the order quantities of items come in batch sizes and the end of the period order quantity and, consequently, demand of customers are zero. in addition, storage space is constrained and the problem ...

there are many benefits for coordination of multiple suppliers when single supplier cannot satisfy buyer demands.  in addition, buyer needs to purchase multiple items in a real supply chain. so, a model that satisfies these requests has many advantages. we extend the existing approaches in the literature that assume all suppliers need to be put on a common replenishment cycle and each supplier ...

one main group of a transportation network is a discrete hub covering problem that seeks to minimize the total transportation cost. this paper presents a multi-product and multi-mode hub covering model, in which the transportation time depends on travelling mode between each pair of hubs. indeed, the nature of products is considered different and hub capacity constraint is also applied. due to ...

‎‎Many authors such as Amini-Harandi‎, ‎Rezapour ‎et al., ‎Kadelburg ‎et al.‎‎, ‎have tried to find at least one fixed point for quasi-contractions when $alphain[frac{1}{2}‎, ‎1)$ but no clear answer exists right now and many of them either have failed or changed to a lighter version‎. In this paper‎, ‎we introduce some new strict fixed point results in the set of multi-valued '{C}iri'{c}-gener...
