A rumor spreading model with variable forgetting rate

Zhao, Laijun; Xie, Wanlin; Gao, H. Oliver; Qiu, Xiaoyan; … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 392 (2013) 23, pp. 6146-6154

A rumor spreading model with the consideration of forgetting rate changing over time is examined in small … the model. Results show that the forgetting rate has a significant impact on the final size of rumor spreading: the larger … the initial forgetting rate or the faster the forgetting speed, the smaller the final size of the rumor spreading …

Optimal flow-line conditions with worker variability

Bentefouet, Frank; Nembhard, David A. - In: International Journal of Production Economics 141 (2013) 2, pp. 675-684

When classical scheduling theory is applied to task sequencing problems, human characteristics are often not the primary consideration and their impact is often assumed away. In this paper, we examine the workforce scheduling problem in sequential flow line systems. We investigate the impact of...

Rumor spreading model considering forgetting and remembering mechanisms in inhomogeneous networks

Zhao, Laijun; Qiu, Xiaoyan; Wang, Xiaoli; Wang, Jiajia - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 392 (2013) 4, pp. 987-994

The SIHR rumor spreading model with consideration of the forgetting and remembering mechanisms was studied in …-free network; the forgetting and remembering mechanisms greatly impact the final size of the rumor. Finally, through the numerical …

Competing for Customers' Attention: Advertising When Consumers Have Imperfect Memory

Loginova, Oksana - Economics Department, University of Missouri - 2005

This paper applies the theory of memory for advertising, developed in the consumer behavior literature, to an industrial organization setting to provide insight into advertising strategies in imperfectly competitive markets. There are two firms and infinitely many identical consumers. The firms...

Vendor managed inventory (VMI) with consignment considering learning and forgetting effects

Zanoni, Simone; Jaber, Mohamad Y.; Zavanella, Lucio E. - In: International Journal of Production Economics 140 (2012) 2, pp. 721-730

The paper considers two research issues that usually interact in practice, which are the ‘VMI with consignment’ inventory policy and the ‘Learning Curve’. Under a VMI with consignment agreement, the vendor is the one who manages the buyer's inventory, and he holds the property of the...
