It is used to perform global optimization. It was developed by Xin-She Yang in 2010. Since then, it has extensively been applied in various optimization problems because of its simple structure and robust performance. Continuous, discrete, or binary, many variants were proposed over the last few years, with applications to solve real-world cases in different fields. Yet, it has one major drawback: its premature convergence due to a lack in its exploration ability.\u0000In this paper, we introduce a selection-based improvement and three other modifications to the standard version of this metaheuristic in order to enhance the diversification and intensification capabilities of the algorithm. The newly proposed method has been then tested on 20 standard benchmark functions and the CEC2005 benchmark suit. Some non-parametric statistical tests were also used to compare the New Bat algorithm with other algorithms, and results indicate that the new method is very competitive and outperforms some of the state-of-the-art algorithms.","PeriodicalId":20872,"journal":{"name":"RAIRO Oper.

Thus, this paper systematically incorporates two types of prepayment policies including risk-free (RF) and risk-taking (RT) into a retailer’s dominated channel. Via deriving operational and financing equilibrium of the green supply chain, a series of interesting findings can be offered. Specifically, (1) this paper identifies a threshold value regarding the manufacturer’s own capital, and proposes two scenarios for assisting the retailer to decide whether offers the manufacturer prepayment policy. (2) The effectiveness of RF for the capital-constrained manufacturer depends on how well its green effort can be implemented. That is, provided that the quality effect is large enough, the manufacturer can get more upfront capital from the retailer, which may entirely cover its total production and green effort costs. (3) Under RT, if the manufacturer’s capital is relatively lower, RT enables the manufacturer to obtain sufficient capital and the retailer is willing to share partial of the manufacturer’s default risk. Otherwise, RT may not be the best prepayment policy for the retailer.","PeriodicalId":20872,"journal":{"name":"RAIRO Oper.

The majority of studies on how to use mathematical models in the supply chain have focused on goods that are at their peak of freshness as soon as they are produced and deteriorate over time. While some products experience an increase in value at the start of their life cycle, this value eventually reaches its maximum level, and after this point, these products experience a decline in value before being eliminated from the consumption cycle. The objective of this study is to develop a comprehensive inventory-routing model suitable for supply chain networks where products exhibit an increase and decrease in value over time. By considering the randomness and dynamic uncertainty of market demands and the fact that each period has effects on the next period, The proposed model employs a multi-stage stochastic programming (MSSP) approach. By doing so, the model ensures a balanced flow between different components of the network while considering non-deterministic demand under various scenarios that are shown in a tree of scenarios. The utilization of MSSP leads to more reliable solutions compared to deterministic models, making it possible for chain stores to make well-informed decisions in their inventory management and distribution strategies. Ultimately, this approach results in cost savings for chain stores handling such products. This research makes a significant contribution to the existing literature by demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed model on actual data and highlighting the benefits of using stochastic programming in supply chain optimization.","PeriodicalId":20872,"journal":{"name":"RAIRO Oper.

This paper establishes a supply chain model comprising a supplier with private investment efficiency and a brander. By employing signaling and reverse selection theories, the equilibrium strategies of the supplier and the brander are explored. Additionally, the impact of investment efficiency and the probability of H-type on the brander’s information strategy and optimal cooperation mode are analyzed. Our analyses reveal that concealing private information may not be beneficial to the supplier under the quotation mode. Moreover, when the probability of H-type is low, the supplier prefers to signal its exact type to the brander. Under the bidding mode, the brander may benefit more from not obtaining the exact supplier type. When the efficiency difference is higher and the probability of H-type is smaller, the brander indicates a preference for the quotation mode and is more willing to await a signal from the supplier. Furthermore, different information structures yield different optimal cooperation modes for the brander.","PeriodicalId":20872,"journal":{"name":"RAIRO Oper.
