Gurnani and Gerchak [H. Gurnani, Y. Gerchak, Coordination in decentralized assembly systems with uncertain component yields, European Journal of Operational Research 176 (2007) 1559-1576] study coordination of a decentralized assembly system in which the demand of the assembler is deterministic...

In this paper, we consider a firm to maximize its profit by choosing a production capacity and determining the production and sales policies for a new product during the lifetime of the product. We extend Bass demand process into more general case including the negative effectiveness of...

We mainly study a taxpayer's optimal strategies of tax evasion and its relevant properties, in order to deduce some effective suggestions and theoretical bases for the tax authority to restrain tax evasion. Based on the Christiansen static model of tax evasion, we formulate a two-period model...

This paper focuses on the degree sequence of a random graph process with copying and vertex deletion. A phase transition is revealed as the following: when copying strictly dominates deletion, the model possesses a power law degree sequence; and when deletion strictly dominates copying, it...

Ramping tricks of trade-based stock manipulation have evolved greatly in the fight with stricter market regulation, and can be extremely complicated nowadays. Despite the rigidity and soundness, theoretical models proposed in extant literature can hardly be applied directly to real market data,...

We consider the replenishment routing problems of one supplier who can replenish only one of multiple retailers per period, while different retailers need different periodical replenishment. For simple cases satisfying certain conditions, we obtain the simple routing by which the supplier can...
