In this paper we investigate a two-period Bertrand-Edgeworth oligopoly model where capacity-constrained firms compete facing significant future demand uncertainty as well about market structure. These must choose between pricing low and secure sales in the first period or, alternatively, high to sell later when, provided materialises entry does not occur, their non-contestable (i.e., which capa...

This paper is focused on the optimised design of a distribution network taking into account the variability of the final customer demand. In particular we study the design of a one-to-many distribution system, considering the product flows from the hub to the different transit points, as well as the reverse flows. The optimization procedure consists of two main steps: the first step is the dete...

This paper is a case study concerning the design and dimensioning of the IP (internet protocol) network of TDC, the largest Danish network operator. Due to historical reasons the number of IP POPs (points of presence) in the network has reached a level, believed to be too high. To point out potential IP POPs for dismantling, we consider a network planning problem concerning dimensioning of the ...
