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.

A multi-criteria optimization approach to modeling negotiation process
The paper presents a multi-criteria optimization approach to modeling negotiation process. The negotiation process is modeled as a special multi-criteria problem. The method for finding solutions is the interactive selec...

A Utility Function to Solve Approximate Linear Equations for Decision Making
Suppose there are a number of decision variables linearly related to a set of outcome variables. There are at least as many outcome variables as the number of decision variables since all decisions are outcomes by themse...
