This study constructs a royalty negotiation model for the bi-level programming (BLP) problem and develops a heuristic algorithm for solving the BLP problem. Concession rate, learning effect, and the time value discount rate are integrated into the proposed algorithm to reflect an authentic...

The dynamic and multi-objective programming is used here to establish a risk measurement model. We develop an iterative algorithm and the convergence conditions for the model solution. The results obtained from the model developed here show that the sum of the interactive utility value (IUV)...
