The manufacturer acts as a leader, while the MNO acts as a follower, i. e., a traditional retailer. Three cooperative mechanisms are considered: the manufacturer does not invest in developing the propriety function and software to support the infrastructure capacity of the MNO; the manufacturer invests in the development; the MNO offers a subsidy to encourage the manufacturer to invest in development. The results reveal that investing in the development can increase the profits of both the manufacturer and the MNO. Furthermore, if the MNO shares certain investment costs with the manufacturer, the MNO may charge higher prices of mobile connection services and mobile value-added services, and the profits of the two players may be enhanced.展开更多

Our empirical work shows that it is more appropriate for a large-scale supplier pricing with his wholesalers based on the threshold cointegration method than the conventional linear cointegration method in spatially separate markets in an agri-supply chain of soybean in China in short time. Firstly, the three pairs of prices in spatially separate markets are of long-run equilibrium and threshold cointegration. The forecast wst shows that the threshold cointegration approach is superior to the conventional linear cointegration approach in short time. Secondly, there are two thresholds of GBand-TAR in which the threshold parameters represent relative transaction costs. Larger thresholds or wider neutral band corresponds to the greater distance between markets. Thirdly, the estimation of M-TAR shows that the large-scale supplier is more sensitive to increase of wholesaler prices than decrease of wholesaler prices. The supplier can price on the forecast of market price by the threshold ECM including the GBand-TAR if the equilibrium error of threshold lag is not in the interval of thresholds in which there is not profitable trading opportunities for the supplier.展开更多

However,there is security risk under all the facilities.This paper proposes an electricity pricing model based on insurance from the perspective of maximizing the benefits of Energy Internet service providers by using the principal-agent theory. The consumer prepays the provider insurance premiums and signs a contract. The provider sets electricity price according to the premiums and therefore provides differentiated electric services for the consumer. Loss suffered by the consumer due to the power failure is compensated by the provider according to the contract. The equivalent model is presented and a necessary condition of the optimal strategy is obtained on the basis of Pontryagin's maximum principle. At last,a numerical example is presented,which illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed model.展开更多

To solve this problem, we presented a Trusted Platform Module (TPM)-based threshold ring signature schen. Employing a reliable secret Share Distribution Center (SDC), the proposed approach can authenticate the TPM-based identity rank of members of the ring but not track a specific member's identity. A subset including t members with the same identity rank is built. With the signing cooperation of t members of the subset, the ring signature based on Chinese remainder theorem is generated. We proved the anonymity and unforgeability of the proposed scheme and compared it with the threshold ring signature based on Lagrange interpolation polynomial. Our scheme is relatively simpler to calculate.展开更多

This proposit...When two Kantian agents engage in inter-dependent transactions with one another, each agent has the responsibility to assure the morality of the other's maxim of action and means to implement the maxim. This proposition is proven to be a logical consequence of Kant's moral system and stated formally as the K-Completeness theorem. Transactions that satisfy the theorem are called "K-Complete." The theorem is generalized to cover transactions with many agents. The paper then models multi-agent K-Complete transactions using mathematical graph theory and shows that such transactions are distinguished from Kant's kingdom of ends. Finally, the paper shows that the extended morality provides Kant's moral system with the resources to define an ethical community in such as the one in Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason without the introduction of God and a church.展开更多

We also find a binomial-like theorem between the single-variable Hermite polynomials and the two-variable Hermite polynomials. Application of these identities in deriving new integration formulas, but without really doing the integration in the usual sense, is demonstrated.展开更多

Contributions of interactions after the hard collision for such inclusive processes are proved to be canceled at operator level according to the unitarity of time evolution operator. After this cancellation, there are no longer leading pinch singular surface in Glauber region in the time evolution of electromagnetic currents. Effects of soft gluons are absorbed into Wilson lines of scalar-polarized gluons. Cancelation of soft gluons is attribute to unitarity of time evolution operator and such Wilson lines.展开更多

In this paper we study the representation theory of G and in particular the question of rationality for V/G, where V is a generically free G-representation. We show that the answer to this question is positive (Theorem 6.1) if the dimension of V is sufficiently large and V is indecomposable. We explicitly characterize two-step extensions 0 → S → V → Q → 0, with completely reducible S and Q, whose rationality cannot be obtained by the methods presented here (Theorem 5.3).展开更多
