Let γ : E(G) −→ N∗ be an edge colouring of a graph G and σγ : V (G) −→ N∗ the vertex colouring given by σγ(v) = ∑ e3v γ(e) for every v ∈ V (G). A neighbour-sumdistinguishing edge-colouring of G is an edge colouring γ such that for every edge uv in G, σγ(u) 6= σγ(v). The study of neighbour-sum-distinguishing edge-colouring of graphs was initiated by Karoński, Łuczak and Thomason [8]. They conjec...

This paper considers advertising, and pricing decisions simultaneously for a three-level supply chain with one supplier, one manufacturer and one retailer.
