With the advent of big data era, complex optimization problems with many objectives and large numbers decision variables are constantly emerging. Traditional research about multi-objective particle swarm (PSO) focuses on (MOPs) small less than four objectives. At present, MOPs (greater or equal to four) When tackling this type MOPs, traditional PSO algorithms have low efficiency. Aiming at these large-scale (MOLSOPs) many-objective (MaOLSOPs), we need explore thoroughly parallel attributes...

Customer experience, a key element in the domain of omnichannel retailing, plays vital role attracting consumers. Implementing new BOPS (buy online, pick up store) strategy will not only affect inventory structure and pricing retail enterprises, but also impact original sales channel. In accordance with consumer dynamic optimization model retailer system was established this research. Based on optimal control theory, analyze strategies under four modes: offline, BOPS, BOPS-PLUS (BOPS buy...

Alleviating poverty is a critical problem in many developing countries such as China. In this paper, we consider poverty-alleviation supply chain composed of one supplier poor area and producer helping the reduce by fulfilling Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Our work aims at examining impacts government subsidies (CSR) on operations. Four game-theoretic models are constructed analyzed to investigate coefficients CSR cost sharing supplier’s producer’s profits, social welfare growth,...
