Coordinating supply chain of Stackelberg game model based on evolutionary game with GA-RL
Zhao Han-ping, Jiang Jia-dong, Feng Yuncheng · Systems Engineering - Theory & Practice · 2010
Problems of coordinating supply chain are based on Stackelberg game model,but if research object is complex supply chain,it is difficult to find equilibrium of Stackelberg game,so evolutionary game theory was introduced.According to characteristics of leaders and followers in Stackelberg game model,learning mechanism is designed for each player respectively.An algorithm of reinforcement learning combined with genetic searching is proposed for leaders(manufacturers),and a learning model of best-reply is designed for followers(retailers).
