Supply chain network sustainability under competition and frequencies of activities from production to distribution
Nagurney, Anna; Yu, Min; Floden, Jonas - In: Computational Management Science 10 (2013) 4, pp. 397-422
In this paper, we develop a competitive supply chain network model with multiple firms, each of which produces a differentiated product by brand and weights the emissions that it generates through its supply chain network activities in an individual way. The supply chain network activities of...

STRONG EQUILIBRIA IN THE VEHICLE ROUTING GAME
ZENKEVICH, NIKOLAY; ZYATCHIN, ANDREY - In: International Game Theory Review (IGTR) 16 (2014) 04, pp. 1450013-1
This paper introduces an extension of the vehicle routing problem by including several distributors in competition. Each customer is characterized by demand and a wholesale price. Under this scenario a solution may have unserviced customers and elementary routes with no customer visits. The...

Robust equilibria in location games
Buechel, Berno; Roehl, Nils - In: European Journal of Operational Research 240 (2015) 2, pp. 505-517
In the framework of spatial competition, two or more players strategically choose a location in order to attract consumers. It is assumed standardly that consumers with the same favorite location fully agree on the ranking of all possible locations. To investigate the necessity of this...

Supply chain network competition in time-sensitive markets
Nagurney, Anna; Yu, Min; Floden, Jonas; Nagurney, Ladimer S. - In: Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and … 70 (2014) C, pp. 112-127
We develop a game theory model for supply chain network competition in time-sensitive markets in which consumers respond to the average delivery time associated with the various firms’ products. The firms’ behavior is captured, along with the supply chain network topologies, with the...

Equilibria and dynamics of supply chain network competition with information asymmetry in quality and minimum quality standards
Nagurney, Anna; Li, Dong - In: Computational Management Science 11 (2014) 3, pp. 285-315
In this paper, we construct a supply chain network model with information asymmetry in product quality. The competing, profit-maximizing firms with, possibly, multiple manufacturing plants, which may be located on-shore or off-shore, are aware of the quality of the product that they produce but...

A Dynamic Network Oligopoly Model with Transportation Costs, Product Differentiation, and Quality Competition
Nagurney, Anna; Li, Dong - In: Computational Economics 44 (2014) 2, pp. 201-229
This paper develops a new dynamic model of Cournot–Nash oligopolistic competition that includes production and transportation costs, product differentiation, and quality levels in a network framework. The production costs capture the total quality cost, which, in turn, can also represent the...

The Formation of Networks with Transfers among Players
Jackson, Matthew O.; Bloch, Francis - 2004
We examine the formation of networks among a set of players whose payoffs depend on the structure of the network. We … links. We characterize the networks that are supported under these variations and show how each of the above aspects is …
