A spatial price equilibrium model with information asymmetry in quality is developed in both static and dynamic versions. Producers at the supply markets are aware of the quality of their products, whereas consumers, located at the demand markets, are aware only of the average quality of the...

We develop a game theory model for supply chain network competition in time-sensitive markets in which consumers respond to the average delivery time associated with the various firms’ products. The firms’ behavior is captured, along with the supply chain network topologies, with the...

In this paper, we develop a tractable network model and computational approach for the design of medical nuclear supply chains. Our focus is on the molybdenum supply chain, which is the most commonly used radioisotope for medical imaging utilized in cardiac and cancer diagnostics. This topic is...

In this paper, we develop a dynamic network model of ecological food webs and prove that the set of stationary points of the projected dynamical system coincides with the set of solutions of a variational inequality governing the equilibrium of predator–prey networks. We also establish the...

In this paper, we develop a modelling and computational framework that allows for the determination of optimal carbon taxes applied to electric power plants in the context of electric power supply chain (generation/distribution/consumption) networks. The adoption of carbon/pollution taxes both...

In this paper, we consider multitiered network equilibrium problems with optimizing decision-makers associated at the nodes with applications ranging from supply chain networks and electric power networks to financial networks with intermediation. We assume fixed demands associated with the...

In this paper, we present a variational inequality framework for the modeling, qualitative analysis, and computation of equilibria in markets in pollution permits. The models developed herein allow for different modes of competitive behavior, including oligopolistic behavior, while taking into...

In this paper, we develop a framework for the modeling, analysis, and computation of solutions to international financial networks with intermediation. We consider three tiers of decision-makers consisting of: source agents in different countries, financial intermediaries, and consumers...
