This paper introduces a general modeling framework for a multi-type maximal covering location problem in which the position of facilities in different metric spaces are simultaneously decided to maximize the demand generated by a set of…

When energy customers schedule loads ahead of time, this information, if acquired by their energy retailer, can improve the retailer's load forecasts. Better forecasts lead to wholesale purchase decisions that are likely to result in lower…

Over the past several decades, major social media platforms have become crucial channels for e-commerce retailers to connect with consumers, maintain engagement, and promote their offerings. While some retailers focus their efforts on a few…

We consider a game where a finite number of retailers choose a location, given that their potential consumers are distributed on a network. Retailers do not compete on price but only on location, therefore each consumer shops at the closest…

The facility location game has been studied extensively in mechanism design. In the classical model, each agent's cost is solely determined by her distance to the nearest facility. In this paper, we introduce a novel model where each…

While consolidation strategies form the backbone of many supply chain optimisation problems, exploitation of multi-tier material relationships through consolidation remains an understudied area, despite being a prominent feature of…

We consider the explicit introduction of firms' choice of location to Varian's model of sales for a two-stage spatial competition model based on a standard Hotelling's linear city model. This model is the formalization of Varian's model of…

The Huff model has been widely used in location-based business analysis for delineating a trading area containing potential customers to a store. Calibrating the Huff model and its extensions requires empirical location visit data. Many…

The growth of e-commerce has created increasing complexity in logistics services. To remain competitive, logistics and e-commerce companies are exploring new modes as supplements to traditional home delivery, one of which is the…

This paper studies the effects of economies of density in transportation markets, focusing on ridesharing. Our theoretical model predicts that (i) economies of density skew the supply of drivers away from less dense regions, (ii) the skew…

This paper studies a practical regional demand continuous multifacility location problems whose main goal is to locate a given number of services and entry points in each region to distribute certain products to the users at minimum…

In the strategic facility location problem, a set of agents report their locations in a metric space and the goal is to use these reports to open a new facility, minimizing an aggregate distance measure from the agents to the facility.…

In the governance of the shared mobility market of a city or of a metropolitan area, there are two conflicting principles: 1) the healthy competition between multiple platforms, such as between Uber and Lyft in the United States, and 2)…

As machine learning (ML) is deployed by many competing service providers, the underlying ML predictors also compete against each other, and it is increasingly important to understand the impacts and biases from such competition. In this…

ATMs enable the public to perform financial transactions. Banks try to strategically position their ATMs in order to maximize transactions and revenue. In this paper, we introduce a model which provides a score to an ATM location, which…

A dynamical model for the distribution of resources between competing agents is studied. While global competition leads to the accumulation of all the resources by a single agent, local competition allows for a wider resource distribution.…

We study a variant of the competitive facility location problem, in which a company is to locate new facilities in a market where competitor's facilities already exist. We consider the scenario where only a limited number of possible…

Maintaining competitive advantage is significant in this present day of globalization, knowledge management and enormous economic activities. An organization's future developments are influenced by its managements' decisions. Businesses…

The ubiquitous growth of mobility-on-demand services for passenger and goods delivery has brought various challenges and opportunities within the realm of transportation systems. As a result, intelligent transportation systems are being…

Retail centers can be considered as places for interactional and recreational activities and such social roles of retail centers contribute to the popularity of the retail centers. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to identify…
