In this paper, we study a two-stage game problem on pricing, ordering and allocation in a service supply chain, where one supplier sells a product with a fixed capacity to customers via two retailers under wholesale price contracts. The two retailers face random demands and order from the...

The effects of an additional strategy or character in the evolutionary snowdrift game (SG) are studied in a well-mixed population or fully connected network and in a square lattice. The SG, which is a possible alternative to the prisoner's dilemma game in studying cooperative phenomena in...

The emergence of cooperation and the effectiveness of penalties among competing agents are studied via a model of evolutionary game incorporating adaptive behavior and penalties for illegal acts. For initially identical agents, a phase diagram is obtained via an analytic approach, with results...

For revenue optimization problems in the literature on revenue management, supply chain management, and queueing systems, some assumptions (such as concavity of revenue functions or increasing generalized failure rate) are often needed to ensure the problems to be analytically tractable. We show...
