Dump or recycle? Consumer's environmental awareness and express package disposal based on an evolutionary game model

“…One sustainable business operation involves activities related to the reusing of resources collected through reverse logistics (Chen et al, 2019 ). More and more scholars have studied reverse logistics, which can be divided into three groups, which are the network of reverse logistics (Tosarkani et al, 2020 ; Xu et al, 2021 ), the factors and performance of reverse logistics (Donner et al, 2020 ; Lamba et al, 2020 ), the inventory control of reverse logistic (Ben-Daya et al, 2019 ; Yang et al, 2018 ). Most of these researches focus on network construction and inventory control.…”

A survey of the state-of-the-art swarm intelligence techniques and their application to an inverse design problem

“…PSO has a propensity to trapped in local minima resulted in a premature convergence and weak exploitation in the final stage. Over the years, PSO has been used in many areas these include in the field of Communication [91][92][93], Robotics [94][95][96], Image processing [97][98][99], Electrical [100][101][102], Management [103,104], and many others.…”

Reverse Logistics Applied to E-Commerce: A Systematic Literature Review on Methods, Applications, and Trends for a Virtual Sustainable Market / Logística Reversa Aplicada Ao Comércio Eletrônico: Uma Revisão Sistemática Da Literatura Sobre Métodos, Aplicações E Tendências Para Um Mercado Virtual Sustentável

“…Thus, they demonstrated that by adopting multiple periods, the number of locations in the reverse network could be reduced and, consequently, the costs of operation, maintenance, and transportation, since the utilization rate of each location increased. In the next year, Yang et al (2018) optimized e-commerce inventory costs by analyzing both costs and inventory of products subject to new sales and those with unviable recovery. So, they applied the Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) algorithm, proposed by Ray and Liew (2002), which is a variation of the original PSO method to solve multiobjective problems (MOP).…”

“…So, they applied the Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) algorithm, proposed by Ray and Liew (2002), which is a variation of the original PSO method to solve multiobjective problems (MOP). In the study proposed by Yang et al (2018), multiple inventory objectives were considered, including managed recovery. The authors assumed that a reverse e-commerce logistics network does not have a single optimal solution, but rather a set of ideal solutions that can be adopted by choosing decisionmakers, justifying the use of a multiobjective approach.…”

“…In the work proposed by Yang et al (2018), the capacity of the MPSO method to support the reduction of inventory costs in the proposed scope were both evaluated and highlighted. However, the authors did not consider that the model may be influenced by the variations in demand that give uncertainty to the operations in the e-commerce field.…”
