Farmers sell high-quality products to supermarkets and normal-quality products to small retail markets, respectively. Three scenarios are investigated: decentralized selling through the distributor to supermarkets (the DD mode); centralized selling through the distributor to supermarkets (the CD mode); centralized selling directly to supermarkets (the CS mode). Under the CS mode, farmers need to bear some extra sale cost such as inventory and transportation cost. We derive farmers’ optimal strategies of production effort and quality investment. It turns out that as farming scale expands, farmers’ production effort decreases, while quality investment increases. Moreover, two farmers’ quality investments are the highest under the CS mode and the least under the DD mode. Further analysis indicates that farmers’ total profits are generally the highest under the CS mode, but farmers obtain the highest profits under the CD mode if farmers’ extra sale cost under the CS mode exceeds a certain level. Therefore, to improve farmers’ welfare and agriculture products’ quality simultaneously, the CS mode may be the best choice in most cases, and it leads to a “win–win” situation for farmers and consumers.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac.

There exist plenty of objective functions that cannot be evaluated exactly in many real cases unless they are estimated with errors. It leads to solving the problem under noise models. Somewhat surprisingly, Submodular Maximization subject to a Knapsack constraint under Noise models ([Formula: see text]) has never been discussed a lot before. Hence, in this paper, we consider the problem with two kinds of noise models which are addition and multiplication. Inspired by the traditional Greedy algorithm, we first propose a Greedy algorithm under Noises with provable theoretical bounds. In order to find the solution when input data are extremely large, we then devise an efficient streaming algorithm that scans only a single pass over the data and guarantees theoretical approximations. Finally, we conduct some experiments on Influence Maximization problem under knapsack constraint, an instance of [Formula: see text] to show the performances of the proposed algorithms.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac.

Each machine has at most one deteriorating maintenance activity. The length of each maintenance activity increases linearly with its starting time. The location of the maintenance activity on each machine needs to be determined. The goal is to find the sequence of jobs to minimize scheduling cost; we further the model by allowing job rejection. A job is either accepted and processed on one of machines, or rejected. The goal is to determine the sequence of the accepted jobs to minimize scheduling cost of the accepted jobs plus total rejection penalty of the rejected jobs. When the scheduling cost is the makespan, we design a pseudo-polynomial time algorithm, a 2-approximation algorithm and a fully polynomial time approximation scheme. When the scheduling cost is the total completion time, we provide a polynomial time algorithm for the problem. When the scheduling costs are the total weighted completion time under the agreeable ratio assumption and the maximum lateness, we present pseudo-polynomial time algorithms to solve these problems, respectively.","PeriodicalId":8478,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pac.
