Competitive location under proportional choice: 1-suboptimal points on networks
Journal Title: Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services - Year 2012, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper is concerned with a competitive or voting location problem on networks under a proportional choice rule that has previously been introduced by Bauer et al. (1993). We refine a discretization result of the authors by proving convexity and concavity properties of related expected payoff functions. Furthermore, we answer the long time open question whether 1-suboptimal points are always vertices by providing a counterexample on a tree network.

Maximization of an Asymmetric Utility Function by the Least Squares
This note points out that a utility maximization procedure proposed in an earlier paper may be reduced to the least squares.The utility function is asymmetric in the sense that for each cue an ideal value and a permissib...
