World Dairy Product Trade: Analysis with a Mixed Complementarity Problem Formulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
World trade in dairy products is being transformed by trade policy liberalization and technological change in dairy processing. The mixed complementarity problem formulation to modeling product-specific dairy trade can overcome a number of the limitations of existing optimization models, and can facilitate desirable extensions to previous analyses.

متن کاملA Scenario-Based Nonlinear Programming Model for a Two-Level Inventory Control Problem: A Case in Dairy Product Industry
In this paper, a novel scenario-based two-level inventory control model with a limited budget is formulated. The demand during the selling period is considered to follow a uniform probability distribution. In addition, it is assumed that there will be some customers who are willing to wait for their demands to be satisfied; thus a service level is considered for these customers. The aim is to f...
متن کاملA Homogeneous Model for Monotone Mixed Horizontal Linear Complementarity Problems
We propose a homogeneous model for the class of mixed horizontal linear complementarity problems. The proposed homogeneous model is always solvable and provides the solution of the original problem if it exists, or a certificate of infeasibility otherwise. Our formulation preserves the sparsity of the original formulation and does not reduce to the homogeneous model of the equivalent standard l...
