Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a widely used mathematical programming approach for assessing the efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) in various sectors. Inverse DEA is a post-DEA sensitivity analysis approach developed initially for solving resource allocation. The main objective of Inverse DEA is to determine the optimal quantity of inputs and/or outputs for each DMU under input and/or output perturbation (s) that would allow them to reach a given efficiency target. Since the early 2000s, Inverse DEA has been extended theoretically and applied successfully in different areas including banking, energy, education, sustainability, and supply chain management. In recent years, research has demonstrated the potential of Inverse DEA for solving novel inverse problems, such as estimating merger gains, minimizing production pollution, optimizing business partnerships, and more. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of the latest theoretical and practical advancements in Inverse DEA, while also highlighting potential areas for future research and development in this field. One such area is exploring the use of heuristic algorithms and optimization techniques in conjunction with Inverse DEA models to address issues of infeasibility and nonlinearity. Moreover, applying Inverse DEA to new sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, and environmental and climate change issues holds great promise for future research. Overall, this paper sets the stage for further advancements in this promising approach.
数据包络分析(DEA)是一种广泛使用的数学规划方法,用于评估各部门决策单元(DMU)的效率。逆DEA是一种后DEA敏感性分析方法,最初用于解决资源分配问题。逆DEA的主要目标是在输入和/或输出扰动下确定每个DMU的最佳输入和//或输出量,以使它们能够达到给定的效率目标。自21世纪初以来,逆向DEA在理论上得到了扩展,并成功应用于银行、能源、教育、可持续发展和供应链管理等不同领域。近年来,研究表明了逆DEA在解决新的逆问题方面的潜力,如估计合并收益、最大限度地减少生产污染、优化商业伙伴关系等。本文全面综述了逆DEA的最新理论和实践进展,同时也强调了该领域未来研究和发展的潜在领域。其中一个领域是探索将启发式算法和优化技术与逆DEA模型结合使用,以解决不可行性和非线性问题。此外,将反向DEA应用于医疗保健、农业、环境和气候变化等新领域,对未来的研究前景广阔。总的来说,本文为这种有前景的方法的进一步发展奠定了基础。

The passive management approach offers conservative investors a way to reduce risk concerning the market. This investment strategy aims at replicating a specific index, such as the NASDAQ Composite or the FTSE100 index. The problem is that buying all the index’s assets incurs high rebalancing costs, and this harms future returns. The index tracking problem concerns building a portfolio that follows a specific benchmark with fewer transaction costs. Since a subset of assets is required to solve the index problem this class of problems is NP-hard, and in the past years, researchers have been studying solution approaches to obtain more practical tracking portfolios. This work brings an analysis, spanning the last three decades, of the advances in mathematical approaches for index tracking. The systematic literature review covered important issues, such as the most relevant research areas, solution methods, and model structures. Special attention was given to the exploration and analysis of metaheuristics applied to the index tracking problem.

We highlight the state-of-the-art in the eco-efficiency measurement using Data Envelopment Analysis, including Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index. We also consider productivity change over time, provide directions for future studies in the field, and gather the most recent policy suggestions for governments, organisations and sectors for reducing CO2 emissions. A structured literature search of the Web of Science academic database reveals 311 papers published between 1989 and 2022. We carry out network analysis of citations to show the evolution of the literature in this research topic. In doing so, we (a) examine the key-route main path of knowledge flows, (b) provide basic bibliometric information about the most active journals and authors, (c) conduct a qualitative in-depth analysis of the identified most important studies and (d) identify the research fronts and relate them to the emerging issues on the topic researched, focusing on the most recent period between 2000 and 2022. Based on the insights of the literature review, the second part of this paper critically analyses the papers on the key-route (main path) of this subject. This review can be used as guidance and a starting point for researchers and practitioners that want to further investigate optimal policies to reach NetZero.

This paper derives an inspection policy for an economic production quantity (EPQ) model under the assumption that a process may produce non-conforming (NC) items. In various stages of a production process, a department receiving an order uses a single sampling inspection policy to detect NC items. Under such a policy, a lot is accepted if the number of NC items in the inspected sample is equal to or less than the acceptance number. The proposed model considers both EPQ- and quality-related costs. Moreover, economic production order quantity, sample size, and acceptance number are considered decision variables. A numerical example is presented, and a set of sensitivity analysis are provided to highlight the effectiveness of the proposed model. The results reveal that when the inspection cost is high, the classical EPQ model achieves a lower expected total cost for the production system compared to the EPQ model with the inspection. In contrast, when the NC cost is high, the EPQ model with the inspection policy outperforms the classical EPQ model, which can significantly decrease the expected total cost.
本文在假设一个过程可能产生不合格(NC)项目的情况下,推导了经济生产量(EPQ)模型的检验策略。在生产过程的各个阶段,接收订单的部门使用单一的抽样检查策略来检测NC项目。在这种政策下,如果检验样品中的NC项目数量等于或小于验收数量,则接受批次。所提出的模型同时考虑了EPQ和质量相关的成本。此外,经济生产订单数量、样本量和接受数量都被视为决策变量。给出了一个数值例子,并进行了一组灵敏度分析,以突出所提出模型的有效性。结果表明,当检查成本较高时,与带检查的EPQ模型相比,经典EPQ模型实现了较低的生产系统预期总成本。相反,当NC成本高时,具有检查策略的EPQ模型优于经典EPQ模型,这可以显著降低预期的总成本。

The Structural Basis for Metal Ion Transport in the SLC11/NRAMP Family. SLC11/NRAMP 家族金属离子转运的结构基础

The SLC11/NRAMP proteins constitute a conserved family of metal ion transporters that are expressed in all kingdoms of life. In humans, the two paralogs DMT1 and NRMP1 play an important role in iron homeostasis and the defense against pathogens. SLC11 transporters have evolved an exquisite selectivity for transition metal ions, which facilitates their efficient transport from a large background of Ca2+ and Mg2+. This is accomplished by the evolution of a conserved binding site, which contains besides promiscuous hard ligands, a methionine acting as soft ligand that exclusively coordinates transition metals and thus contributes to the exclusion of alkaline earth metal ions. This site is altered in a branch of prokaryotic family members, which are capable of transporting Mg2+, where the removal of the coordinating methionine and the accompanying expansion of the binding pocket captures this small ion in a hydrated state. The disposition of titratable residues in H+-coupled transition metal ion transporters, that are absent in uncoupled Mg2+ transporters, sheds light on potential coupling mechanisms. In combination, the discussed work has revealed detailed insight into transition metal ion transport and provides a basis for the development of inhibitors of DMT1 as strategy against iron overload disorders.

SLC11/NRAMP蛋白构成了一个保守的金属离子转运蛋白家族,在所有生物王国中都有表达。在人类中,两个类似物DMT1和NRMP1在铁稳态和防御病原体中发挥重要作用。SLC11转运体已经进化出对过渡金属离子的精细选择性,这有助于它们从大量的Ca2+和Mg2+背景中高效转运。这是通过一个保守结合位点的进化来完成的,该位点除了含有混杂的硬配体外,还含有一个蛋氨酸作为软配体,专门协调过渡金属,从而有助于排除碱土金属离子。这个位点在原核生物家族成员的一个分支中发生了改变,该分支能够运输Mg2+,其中协调蛋氨酸的去除和伴随的结合袋的扩张捕获了水合状态的小离子。可滴定残基在H+偶联过渡金属离子转运体中的分布,而在未偶联的Mg2+转运体中是不存在的,揭示了潜在的耦合机制。综上所述,所讨论的工作揭示了过渡金属离子运输的详细见解,并为开发DMT1抑制剂作为铁过载失调的策略提供了基础。

Channel encroachment strategy through pure online or combined offline retailing 通过纯线上或结合线下零售的渠道侵占策略

With the rise of e-commerce, an increasing number of retailers concentrate on the online channel to sell their products (strategy O), while some retailers select online and offline combined retailing. That is, the retailers introduce an offline experience store in addition to their online channels (strategy B). However, there is little literature on which strategies are better when a retailer’s intrusion is considered. This paper constructs a competitive system in which the incumbent is a well-established pure online retailer and the new entrant will decide which strategy to select, strategy O or strategy B. The hotelling model is applied to represent the competitive market of both retailers through consumers’ asymmetrical preference for products, and Nash games under two strategies are built. Through comparing equilibrium solutions, we show that when consumers prefer the incumbent’s product, Online and offline retailing is an effective strategy for the new entrant to compete with the incumbent. Meanwhile, the incumbent’s advantage does not always benefit him. Consumers’ asymmetrical preference for products may intensify the competition between them and hurt their profits, but the new entrant can benefit from providing offline retailing under most cases.
随着电子商务的兴起,越来越多的零售商专注于在线渠道销售产品(策略O),而一些零售商则选择线上和线下相结合的零售方式。也就是说,零售商除了在线渠道外,还引入了线下体验店(策略B)。然而,当考虑零售商的入侵时,很少有文献表明哪种策略更好。本文构建了一个竞争系统,其中在位者是一个成熟的纯在线零售商,新进入者将决定选择哪种策略,策略O还是策略B。酒店营销模型通过消费者对产品的不对称偏好来代表两个零售商的竞争市场,并建立了两种策略下的纳什博弈。通过比较均衡解,我们发现当消费者更喜欢在位者的产品时,线上和线下零售是新进入者与在位者竞争的有效策略。同时,现任总统的优势并不总是对他有利。消费者对产品的不对称偏好可能会加剧他们之间的竞争并损害他们的利润,但在大多数情况下,新进入者可以从提供线下零售中受益。

This paper considers an unobservable queue with adjustable service rate and strategic customers. A queueing-game-theoretic model is built to capture the interaction between the server’s service rate and customers’ joining decisions. Iterative and recursive methods are used to derive the steady-state distribution and the expected sojourn time in the queue. We obtain customers’ equilibrium and socially optimal joining strategies under two information scenarios which are unobservable and partially unobservable queues, separately. It is found that there are four equilibrium joining strategies at most in the fully unobservable queue and two equilibrium joining strategies in the almost unobservable queue. Interestingly, the social optimal arrival rate is between the minimum and maximum stable equilibria. Thus, in most cases, managers need to charge a price to induce the social optimal customers’ behavior. However, if the minimum equilibrium is achieved, managers are required to provide a subsidy to maximize the social welfare. unobservable queue; $(m, N)$ policy; equilibrium strategy; social welfare.
本文考虑了一个具有可调服务率和战略客户的不可观测队列。建立了一个排队博弈论模型来捕捉服务器服务率与客户加入决策之间的交互作用。迭代和递归方法用于推导稳态分布和队列中的预期停留时间。我们分别在不可观测和部分不可观测队列的两种信息场景下获得了客户的均衡和社会最优加入策略。研究发现,在完全不可观测的队列中,最多有四种均衡连接策略,在几乎不可观测队列中,则有两种均衡连接战略。有趣的是,社会最优到达率介于最小和最大稳定均衡之间。因此,在大多数情况下,管理者需要收取一定的价格来诱导社会最优客户的行为。然而,如果实现了最低均衡,管理者就需要提供补贴,以最大限度地提高社会福利。不可观测队列$(m,N)$政策;均衡策略;社会福利。

However, if the minimum equilibrium is achieved, managers are required to provide a subsidy to maximize the social welfare. unobservable queue; $(m, N)$ policy; equilibrium strategy; social welfare.","PeriodicalId":56296,"journal":{"name":"IMA Journal of Management Mathematics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48243969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we propose an integrated model for optimising the process mean, the price of products, and the production quantity. This optimisation is conducted considering the impact of price differentiation in an imperfectly segmented market where demand leakages are common. The products that are produced by the production process are assigned to two market segments using sampling inspection. For optimisation of the process mean, pricing, and production quantities, a multi-objective model is formulated that maximises (i) The expected total risk-adjusted profit across segments for a risk-tolerant firm, (ii) The satisficing level, that is, the probability of exceeding a target set for total risk-adjusted expected profit, and (iii) The two conflicting objectives, expected total risk-adjusted profit and satisficing level. Depending on the complexity of models, either derivative-based closed form solutions or heuristic solution procedures are developed. The problem finds applications in process industries. A detailed numerical simulation is performed to corroborate the models, and it shows that a higher risk aversion results in a lower total expected risk-adjusted profit but a higher probability of achieving the target profit.
在本文中,我们提出了一个优化工艺平均值、产品价格和生产数量的集成模型。这种优化是在考虑了不完全细分市场中价格差异的影响的情况下进行的,在这个市场中,需求泄漏很常见。通过抽样检验将生产过程生产的产品分配到两个细分市场。为了优化工艺平均值、定价和生产量,制定了一个多目标模型,该模型最大化(i)风险承受企业跨部门的预期总风险调整利润,(ii)满意度,即超过总风险调整预期利润目标的概率,以及(iii)两个相互冲突的目标,预期总风险调整利润和满意度。根据模型的复杂性,可以开发基于导数的闭式解或启发式解程序。这个问题在流程工业中得到了应用。对模型进行了详细的数值模拟,结果表明,风险规避程度越高,预期风险调整后的总利润越低,但实现目标利润的概率越高。
