Recently, the increasing power of distributors has given them the opportunity of introducing private brand (PB) products. Based on the game theory, this study analyzes the decision making of a distributor regarding the optimal pricing and quality strategies for the PB product. By analyzing the game model, it is shown that the pricing mechanism heavily depends not only on the market power of the distributor but on the quality of the PB product. It is also shown that, counter intuitively, as the market power of the distributor increases, the optimal quality of the PB product should be decreased.

This research investigates the supply chain contract between a distributor and a supplier in which the selling period is relatively short in comparison with long production lead time. At the first stage, supplier who is a Stackelberg leader offers the distributor a contract with a set of parameters, and subjected to those parameters, the distributor places the number of initial orders as well as options. In order to purchase the option, the distributor pays non-linear option premium price with respect to the number of purchased options. At the second stage, based on realized demand, the distributor has the right to exercise option as either put or call which is limited up to the number of purchased options. The wholesale price contract is used as a benchmarking contract. This research has confirmed that the supply chain contract with a non-linear option premium price can help to coordinate the supply chain.

A total of 69 genera and 202 species of the family Syrphidae have been previously recognized in Korea. In the present study, we report the following 10 species new to Korea: Epistrophe aeka Kimura, 1989, Epistrophe aino (Matsumura, 1917), Epistrophe annulitarsis(Stackelberg, 1918), Epistrophe griseofasciata (Matsumura, 1918), Epistrophe sasayamana (Matsumura, 1918), Epistrophe shibakawae (Matsumura, 1917), Fagisyrphus cinctus (Fallén, 1817), Melangyna olsufjevi (Violovitsh, 1956), Melangyna pavlovskyi (Violovitsh, 1956), and Paragus clausseni Mutin, 1999. Among the four genera, the genus Fagisyrphus Dušek and Láska, 1967 is recognized for the first time in Korea. As a result, 70 genera and 212 species of the family Syrphidae are now officially recognized for the Korean fauna. For each newly recognized Korean species, we provide synonymy, diagnosis, and description with color photographs. In addition, we provide new Korean names for all newly recorded species as well as the genera Epistrophe, Fagisyrphus, and Melangyna, which previously did not have Korean names.

전통적인 OD조사에 의한 OD추정방법의 여러 문제점들로 인해 링크에서 관측된 교통량과 기존OD를 결합해 새로운 OD를 추정하고자 하는 연구들이 지속되고 있으며, 그 필요성도 증대되고 있다. 그러한 기법중의 하나가 Yang(1995)이 제시한 바이레벨 모형으로, 그는 일반화최소자승법을 풀기위한 Sensitivity Analysis Based (SAB)을 제시하였다. 그러나 SAB 알고리즘은 두가지 중요한 문제점을 가지고 있다. 첫 번째 문제는 실제 OD를 알기가 어렵기 때문에, 기존 OD 조사시의 통행패턴이 현재의 통행패턴과 큰 변화가 없다는 가정 하에, 기존 OD를 추정시 중요한 추정기준으로 설정한다는 점이다. 그러나 이러한 기존 OD에 대한 추정의 종속성으로 인해, SAB는 기존 OD와 실제 OD의 차이가 큰 경우 정확한 해를 도출하지 못하고 추정결과가 일관적(robust)이지 않게 도출된다. 두 번째 문제는 SAB는 통행패턴 추정시 선형근사화를 가정하기 때문에 게임이론적 측면에서 전제로 설정한 완전한 Stackelberg 상황을 구현하지 못한다는 점이다. 이러한 문제점을 피하기 위해서는 기존 OD의 오차나 관측교통량의 오차에 대해 일관적이고 안정적인 해도출 기법이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 SAB를 비롯한 기존 바이레벨 OD추정기법의 문제점을 지적하고 이에 대한 대안기법을 제시하는 것이다. OD추정의 문제는 본질적으로 비선형이고 비볼록하기 때문에, 다중해를 도출하게 된다. 따라서 전역해 탐색기법이 필요한데, 본 연구에서는 전역최적화가 가능한 유전알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)을 이용한 OD추정모형(GA-Model:GAM)을 제시하였다. 사례네트워크에 대한 비교분석결과, GAM은 기존 OD의 오타에 대해 크게 종속적이지 않으며 OD구조가 변하는 경우에도 추정이 가능하여, 일반적으로 실제 OD를 알 수 없는 (기존OD의 오차가 어느 정도인지를 알 수 없는) 도시부 네트워크에서 신뢰성있는 추정력을 보였다.

This study deals with a model for platform competition in a two-sided market. We suppose there are both direct and indirect network externalities between suppliers and users of each platform. Moreover, we suppose that both users and suppliers are distributed in their relative affinity for each platform type. That is, each user [supplier] has his/her own preferential position toward each platform, and users [suppliers] are horizontally differentiated over [0, 1]. And for analytical tractability, some parameters like direct and indirect network externalities are the same across the markets. Given the parameters and the pricing profile, users and suppliers conduct subscription game, where participants select the platform that gives them the highest payoffs. This game proceeds according to a replicator dynamics of the evolutionary game, which is simplified by properly defining gains from participant's strategy in the subscription game. We find that depending on the strength of these network effects, there might either be multiple stable equilibria, at which users and suppliers distribute across both platforms, or one unstable interior equilibrium corresponding to the market tipping in favor of either platform. In both cases, we also consider the pricing power of competing platform providers under the framework of the Stackelberg game. In particular, our study examines the possible effects of the type of competition between platform providers, which may constrain the equilibrium selection in the subscription game.

Facility-based competition (FBC) in the telecommunications market is considered to have lower static efficiency in the short term and higher dynamic efficiency in the long term. Under service-based competition (SBC), the entrant can reduce its setup costs by leasing network facilities from the incumbent, which makes the entrant viable, pushes the market price down and promotes static efficiency. This paper attempts to measure static efficiency by comparing the profits of the incumbent and entrant in terms of consumer surplus and social welfare under each competition type by extending the Stackelberg model. The results, assuming a linear demand function and variation in regulatory level, show that FBC results in higher social welfare than SBC on the whole. However, SBC accompanied by strong regulation is also shown to have the potential to be superior over FBC. It is also revealed that FBC exhibits a higher producer surplus (particularly, the incumbent's producer surplus) and is, therefore, more desirable in terms of dynamic efficiency. When the entrant's cost is high in FBC, social welfare is shown to be lowered, implying that cost competitiveness is a necessary condition for social welfare.

We deal with a resource allocation problem for multimedia service discrimination in wireless networks. We assume that a service provider allocates network resources to users who can choose and access one of the discriminated services. To express the rational service selection of users, the utility function of users is devised to reflect both service quality and cost. Regarding the utility function of a service provider, total profit and efficiency of resource usage have been considered. The proposed service discrimination framework is composed of two game models. An outer model is a repeated Stackelberg game between a service provider and a user group, while an inner model is a service selection game among users, which is solved by adopting the Kalai-Smorodinsky bargaining solution. Through simulation experiments, we compare the proposed framework with existing resource allocation methods according to user cost sensitivity. The proposed framework performed better than existing frameworks in terms of total profit and fairness.

The analysis of elemental sulfur by polarography has already been reported in the literature. Only a discussion of the more important factors influencing the analysis is here presented. (1) The effects of pH on the reduction of elemental sulfur are pronounced and the use of buffered solutions for the analysis of elemental sulfur is necessary. The authors found that a pH of 4-6 was found to be reproducible polarograms by use of D.C. polarograph. However, in alkali solvents the plateau of elemental sulfur has a pronounced dip if the concentration of sulfur is as much as 30ppm. (2) A.C. polarographic method shows a very high sensitivity in the case of sulfur reduction, so that the very low concentration of sulfur can easily be determined (about 1ppm). (3) The characteristics of sulfur wave can be formulated according to Stackelberg-Hauck-Hans equation. It was found that the curve of the peak potential of elemental sulfur in A.C. polarography versus logarithm of sulfur concentration was obtained to be straight line with the slope of 29.6 millivolts. This result was well agreed with theoretical consideration. (4) It was assumed that this polarographical methods were applicable to micro-analysis of elemental sulfur in crude oil and its petrochemical products, precipitated sulfur, and sulfur ointments with accuracy and rapidity.

A novel algorithm for joint user selection and optimal power allocation for Stackelberg game-based revenue maximization in a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) network is proposed in this study. The condition for the existence of optimal solution is derived by assuming perfect channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter. The Lagrange multiplier method is used to convert the revenue maximization problem into a set of quadratic equations that are reduced to a regular chain of expressions. The optimal solution is obtained via a univariate iterative procedure. A simple algorithm for joint optimal user selection and power calculation is presented and exhibits extremely low complexity. Furthermore, an outage analysis is presented to evaluate the performance degradation when perfect CSI is not available. The simulation results indicate that at 5-dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), revenue of the base station improves by at least 15.2% for the proposed algorithm when compared to suboptimal schemes. Other performance metrics of NOMA, such as individual user-rates, fairness index, and outage probability, approach near-optimal values at moderate to high SNRs.
