There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

This research seeks to develop a methodology to examine the individual entity behavior in reverse production systems where every entity considers its own objective function subject to its own constraints and is effected by decision variables of other entities. We develop a two-stage algorithm to determine the robust price and flow functions for upstream tier in a non-cooperative manner and solve for the Nash equilibrium prices in the competitive downstream tier.
