Monotonicity in the stock competition game with consumer search

Anupindi and Bassok investigate the impact of centralizing the stocks in a one-manufacturer-two-retailer supply chain with consumer search. They observed through numerical studies that in the decentralized scenario, the retailers’ order quantities are monotonic in the consumer search probability. This paper provides an analytical justification of this monotonicity.     

Spatial competition facility location models: Definition,formulation and solution approach

Models are presented for locating a firm's production facilities and determining production levels at these facilities so as to maximize the firm's profit. These models take into account the changes in price at each of the spatially separated markets that would result from the increase in supply provided by the new facilities and also from the response of competing firms. Two different models of spatial competition are presented to represent the competitive market situation in which the firm's production facilities are being located. These models are formulated as variational inequalities; recent sensitivity analysis results for variational inequalities are used to develop derivatives of the prices at each of the spatially separated markets with respect to the production levels at each of the new facilities. These derivatives are used to develop a linear approximation of the implicit function relating prices to productions. A heuristic solution procedure making use of this approximation is proposed.     

Design of Cavities for a Short Pulse Powerful Large Orbit Gyrotron

Designs of cavities for fundamental and high harmonic operation in Large Orbit Gyrotron (LOG) are discussed. The fundamental operation allows one to use beam currents in the range from 200 A to 300 A achieve output power of the order of 9–10 MW at frequency 143.6 GHz. Mode competition calculations show that stable oscillations in the TE^1,4 mode using high beam currents are possible even with the pitch factor 1.3 which is significantly lower than the design value 1.55. For the second harmonic operation, the maximum current used for excitation of the TE^2,4 mode is 60 A and the optimum magnetic field is 7.6 T. A cavity design for fourth harmonic operation using the TE^4,4 mode is also presented.     

A Kolmogorov-type competition model with multiple coexistence states and its applications to plant competition for sunlight

It is demonstrated that a Kolmogorov-type competition model featuring species allocation and gain functions can possess multiple coexistence states. Two examples are constructed: one in which the two competing species possess rectangular allocation functions but distinct gain functions, and the other in which one species has a rectangular allocation function, the second species has a bi-rectangular allocation function, and the two species share a common gain function. In both examples, it is shown that the species nullclines may intersect multiple times within the interior of the first quadrant, thus creating both locally stable and unstable equilibrium points. These results have important applications in the study of plant competition for sunlight, in which the allocation functions describe the vertical placement of leaves for two competing species, and the gain functions represent rates of photosynthesis performed by leaves at different heights when shaded by overlying leaves belonging to either species.     

高速气流中激光加热平板数值模拟与分析

 采用流固耦合方法,数值模拟了高速流场中激光作用下来流速度对平板温度分布的影响。结果表明:无激光辐照时,高速气流中平板有较高的气动生热平衡温度,且平板-气流之间的换热系数随来流速度增大而增大;在平板前沿换热系数增长最快,沿平板长度方向增速趋于平缓。分析了激光辐照时高速气流中激光加热平板的温度分布情况,考察了来流速度不同时,气动生热、散热和激光辐照对平板温度的影响,给出了激光辐照后的温升情况和温度分布,分析了在不同速度来流下,对流散热、摩擦生热和激光加热之间的竞争关系,结果表明,平板温度具体分布主要是加热过程竞争的结果。

将港口服务产品的网络外部性和服务质量水平引入到发货人的效用函数中,通过Hotelling价格竞争模型分析港口FDI企业与内资港口企业的博弈策略行为,分别研究在Nash和Stackelberg博弈条件下,港口服务价格、收益与网络外部性系数、服务质量水平之间的关系.理论研究的结论表明:港口FDI企业与内资港口企业在Stackelberg条件下的最优定价、均衡收益均大于Nash条件下的最优定价、均衡收益;企业最优定价随网络外部性强度线性递减,随服务水平线性递增;企业均衡收益受服务水平和网络外部性强度的影响,呈现出一定的区间变化规律,处于相同港口外部市场环境下,内资港口企业与港口FDI企业的服务策略选择和侧重点不相同.     

扩充竞赛图的(1,2)步竞争图

2011年Factor等人提出了有向图的(1,2)步竞争图的概念,并完全刻画了竞赛图的(1,2)步竞争图.设D=(V,A)是一个有向图.如果无向图G=(V,E)满足,V(G)=V(D)并且xy∈E(G)当且仅当D中存在顶点z≠x,y使得d_(D-y)(x,z)=1,d_(D-x)(y,z)≤2或者d_(D-x)(y,z)=1,d_(D-y)(x,z)≤2,那么称G为D的(1,2)步竞争图,记为C_(1,2)(D).本文主要刻画了扩充竞赛图的(1,2)步竞争图.
