A supply chain network oligopoly model using genetic algorithms

In this paper, we develop a model of supply chain network under oligopolistic competition. The supply chain network is consisted of oligopolistic firms that compete non-cooperatively. And all the firms try to determine their the product flows to maximize their profits. The Nash-Cournot equilibrium conditions are solved by using genetic algorithm without any assumption of continuity and differentiability. The numerical example demonstrates the efficiency of our proposed genetic algorithm for getting the equilibrium.
