The sequential pricing game model is an approach that can be effectively used to solve the problem with multi-oligopoly pricing mechanisms in raw material supply chains. However, the existing sequential pricing mechanism does not fully consider const...
We develop a game model to analyze the tacit collusion between regional ports under three different scenarios. In the first scenario, there is simultaneous pricing game between regional ports; this intends to depict pricing strategy adopted independe...
This article studies the location–price Hotelling game. Numerous studies have been conducted on the Hotelling game with simultaneous decisions; however, in real-life scenarios, decisions are frequently sequential. Unfortunately, studies on the...
This work studies the Hotelling game with sequential choice of prices, that is, the Stackelberg–Hotelling (SHOT) game. The game is studied through numerical simulation, which provides the subgame perfect equilibrium solution not only in the unr...
This paper uses a standard non-cooperative sequential game with two homogeneous players to analyze investment options of groundwater development project in South Korea’s Jeju island. The model is constructed as an option game taking the uncertainty o...
Under the Energy Internet concept the distribution and management of resources in the electricity market have been gradually transiting from a centralized pattern to a decentralized pattern. Correspondingly, the methodological model for the analysis...
Reservation parking is a new type of parking that allows users to obtain a parking space for an appropriate time slot by reservation. This paper pioneers a high degree-of-freedom reservation strategy and rules for commercial districts in which users...
To accomplish IMO’s emission reduction targets, the Chinese government has established emission control areas and implemented strict sulfur limitation policies. Faced with a downturn in the shipping industry and the challenge of an insufficient...
E-commerce platforms involve interactions among platform governance, manufacturer pricing, consumer perception, and managerial cognition. This study examines how platform overconfidence and consumer product-fit perception accuracy affect pricing, pro...

As the e-commerce landscape diversifies, suppliers are faced with the critical decision of how to effectively launch their products through e-commerce channels with varying business models. This study aims to explore the strategic considerations for...
This paper analyses the strategies of the substitutable suppliers competing to collaborate with a main manufacturer in “main manufacturer–supplier” (M-S) mode. In the research and development (R&D) of complex products, only one...
To address three major industry pain points—the lack of quantified profit-sharing standards in the two-stage pricing under the separation model of military research and production, the absence of stable Nash equilibrium in single-layer synchron...
The evolution of wireless networks toward 6G and Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architectures brings unprecedented demands for flexible and energy-efficient resource allocation mechanisms. A key challenge is to allocate radio resources effectively...
As China’s marine economy and green high-quality development strategy both progress, traditional marine crab farming is reaching its capacity limits. In response, the land-based aquaculture farming model for saline–alkali crabs has emerge...
Gradually replacing fossil-fueled vehicles in the transport sector with Electric Vehicles (EVs) may help ensure a sustainable future. With regard to the charging electric load of EVs, optimal scheduling of EV batteries, controlled by an aggregating a...
This study takes the dual-channel fresh product supply chain involving the participation of third-party logistics (3PL) as the background to explore how 3PL makes choices between homogeneous and differentiated logistics service strategies and how the...
With the rise in social channels, branders have gained more sales opportunities, but at the same time, they have to face practical challenges such as channel introductions, product configuration, and product pricing. Although existing studies have di...
During the critical period of agricultural green transformation, clarifying the evolutionary logic of farmers’ green production behavior under a multi-stakeholder framework provides significant insights for implementing “Dual Carbon&rdquo...
Feature creep captures the phenomenon that additional features result in product complexity and even decrease the usability of products. According to consumers’ heterogeneous tastes for products’ sophisticated features, we divide them int...
With the rapid penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy generation in distribution networks, the coordinated scheduling of flexible EV loads and uncertain renewable resources has become a critical research focus in modern power sys...
This study introduces a fully uncertainty-aware forecasting framework for NBA games that integrates team-level performance metrics, rolling-form indicators, and spatial shot-chart embeddings. The predictive backbone is a recurrent neural network equi...
Probabilistic selling (PS) is widely used in the travel industry and marketing practices; how to design a win-win contract using PS in multiple participants’ supply chain to achieve sustainable development has been a worthy concerned issue in t...
High electricity prices remain a substantial barrier to electric vehicle (EV) diffusion. To address this challenge, we propose a bundled sales model that integrates EVs with distributed, operationally off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems for self-consu...
