Pricing is one of the major aspects of decision making in supply chain. In the previous works mostly a centralized environment is considered indicating the retailers cannot independently apply their decisions on the pricing strategy. Although in a two-echelon decentralized environment it may be possible that supply chain contributors have encountered with different market power situations which...

______________________ Abstract: Bi-level programming, a tool for modeling decentralized decisions, consists of the objective(s) of the leader at its first level and that is of the follower at the second level. Three level programming results when second level is itself a bi-level programming. By extending this idea it is possible to define multi-level programs with any number of levels. Supply...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from municipal solid waste (MSW) management significantly contribute to high global warming potential (GWP). However, most studies have failed to facilitate identifying MSW management schemes capable of comprehensively meeting the goals from decision-makers at different hierarchical levels under uncertainties. This study develops an inexact bi-level linear program...

We consider a primary user, operating on the frequency channels of a primary network, and an operator (a leader) facing the competition of a second operator (a follower). These operators are willing to exploit the unused capacity of the primary network and maximize their profits derived from operat...

This paper studies the importance of follower links for event propagation on Twitter. Three recent event propagation traces are collected with the user languages being used to identify the Network of Networks (NoN) structure...
