Scheduling Bodyguards

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Security agencies around the world use bodyguards to protect government officials and public figures. In this paper, we consider a two‐person zero‐sum game between a defender who allocates such bodyguards to protect several targets and an attacker who chooses one target to attack.

Conditional Generative Modeling for Enhanced Credit Risk Management in Supply Chain Finance

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of cross‐border e‐commerce (CBEC) has created significant opportunities for small‐ and medium‐sized sellers, yet financing remains a critical challenge due to their limited credit histories. Third‐party logistics (3PL)‐led supply chain finance (SCF) has emerged as a promising solution, leveraging in‐transit inventory as ...

Reconsidering Volume‐Based Drug Procurement Policy: The Consequences of Manufacturers' Optimal Production Planning and Breach Strategies

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impacts of Volume‐Based Procurement (VBP) policies on pharmaceutical supply chains, with a focus on the strategic behaviors of manufacturers. VBP aims to reduce costs and stabilize supplies by centralizing procurement through competition based on volumes and prices.

Tractable but Hard to Approximate: The Bi‐Objective Minimum s$$ s $$‐t$$ t $$‐Cut Problem With Binary Capacities

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The minimum s$$ s $$‐t$$ t $$‐cut problem is one of the most‐studied problems in discrete optimization and has a unique complexity status in multi‐objective optimization. Even though the single‐objective version of the problem can be solved in polynomial time, it has been shown in the seminal work of Papadimitriou and Yannakakis (2000) that ...

Electronic Correlation Effects in the Response of Graphene and MoS2 Monolayers to the Impact of Highly‐Charged Ions

open access: yesphysica status solidi (b), EarlyView.
The response of graphene and MoS2 monolayers to highly‐charged impinging ions is investigated using nonequilibrium Green functions theory. Electronic correlations are found to have a significantly stronger influence on the ultrafast ion‐induced electron dynamics in MoS2 than in graphene.
