In his odel, assued ha new and eanufacued poducs have pice diffeence, fis we build a decision-aking dynaic syse odel of he anufacues, wo ecycles and cusoes and hen analyze he possibiliy of he exisence of he syse equilibiu poins and hei sabiliy. Though nueical siulaion, we use bifucaion diaga, Maxiu Lyapunov index vaiaion diaga and chaos aaco o esiae he coplexiy and chaos of he syse copehensively, obseve he pofi ends of he anufacues and ecycles when syse change fo sabiliy o chaos and analyze he syse iniial value sensiiviy. The conclusion of he nueical siulaion has a lo of guidance and efeence value o he decision-akes in a closed-loop supply chain. Keywods: Coplexiy, closed-loop supply chain, pice diffeence, eanufacued poducs INTRODUCTION The applicaion of gae heoy and coplexiy heoy in supply chain, using i o guide he decisionakes, is inensively concened by scholas hoe and aboad. The equilibiu selecion poble in a nonlinea duopoly gae wih adapive expecaions is sudied, poved ha he ieaion esuls was sensiive o he iniial value (Bischi and Kopel, 00). An oupu gae odel based on vaious decision ules and he sabiliy of is equilibiu wee discussed (Yali, 0). A supply chain odel which is consained by fobidden euning and liied supply capaciy was build and is bifucaion phenoenon was discussed (Jing and Xun, 0). A duopoly gae odel wih bounded aionaliy and ie delayandis coplexiy wee analyzed (lsadany, 00). Aduopoly adveising odel and is chaos conol based on heeogeneous expecaions wee sudied (Juan e al., 0). The pice gae odel fo fou oligachs wih diffeen decision ules and is chaos conol wee analyzed (Junling and Junhai, 0). A supply chain oupu gae odel and is chaos and iniial value sensiiviy wee discussed (Guanhui e al., 0). Meanwhile, scholas apply gae and coplexiy heoy o vaious econoic envionen successfully, such like polluion abaeen (Dagone e al., 00) and so on. In he field of closed-loop supply chain, a closed-loop supply chain odel wih unceain deand was build and sudied (Huiling, 0); a duopoly anufacues ecycling gae odel was build and is chaos and iniial value sensiiviy when ecovey pice and adjusen aes vay wee sudied (Yuehong e al., 0). Based on he foe wok, o be oe ealisic, his sudy inoduces he assupion ha new and eanufacued poducs have pice diffeence ino he closed-loop supply chain odel which is consis of anufacues, ecycles and cusoes. Afe building he decision-aking dynaic syse odel of he anufacues and ecycles, his sudy analyzes he possibiliy of he exisence of he syse equilibiu poins and hei sabiliy. Then hough nueical siulaion, we use bifucaion diaga, Maxiu Lyapunov index vaiaion diaga and chaos aaco o esiae he coplexiy and chaos of he syse copehensively, obseve he pofi ends of he anufacues and ecycles when syse change fo sabiliy o chaos and discuss he syse iniial value sensiiviy. A las, we suaize and pu fowad he diecion of fuhe eseach. MODL STABLISHMNT Model descipion: A pesen, he eseach abou closed-loop supply chain is osly focused on he analysis of Nash equilibiu poin in pice and oupu odel and osly only concened he ecycling ake; seldo used coplexiy heoy o sudy closed-loop supply chain and aely cobined he new poduc ake and ecycling ake ogehe. To be oe ealisic o he poduc ake, his sudy concens such a siuaion: new poducs and eanufacued poducs ae he sae in pefoance, bu diffeen in cusoe Coesponding Auho: Bin Chen, College of Manageen and conoics, Tianjin Univesiy, Tianjin 30007, China 566

2 appoval degee, hen builds a hee-ie closed-loop supply chain odel, which conains anufacues, ecycles and cusoes. In his odel, he only anufacue poduces eanufacues and sales he poducs, wo ecycles ae in a duopoly sae and ecovey poducs. Fo his odel, assued ha: The anufacue M and he wo ecycles R, R ae independen decenalized decision-akes, a he discee ie peiods = 0,,,, hey all axiize hei own pofi (Fig. ) The ecovey quaniy is only elevan o he ecovey pice, anufacue us ecovey he all fo he ecycles and i can ecycle all of he, no wase New and eanufacued poducs have pice diffeence Pice educes when oupu ises The aoun of eanufacued poducs is less han deand, so i can sell ou The paaees in his odel ae denoed as follows: Manufacue M: ake pice of he new poducs p n, ake pice of he eanufacued poducs p, anufacue ecovey pice p 0, new poduc cos pe uni c n, ecycling cos pe uni c Recycle R: Recovey pice p p 0, is he pice ansfe aio of R Recycle R: Recovey pice p p 0, is he pice ansfe aio of R Adv. J. Food Sci.

Value ha: v = 0..85, v = 0.3, v 3 = 0.45, v 4 = 0.5 v = 0..5, v = 0.8, v 3 = 0.7, v 4 = 0.5 in boh values, he Maxiu Lyapunov index of he syse is geae han zeo and he syse is chaoic, as he chaos aaco confied in Fig. 6 and 7. The siuaion in Fig. 6 and 7 is accodan o he one in Fig. o 5. Influence of DVAS on pofis: Pofi S is he key faco of an enepise, how would pofis vay when Decision Vaiables Adjusen Speed (DVAS) v i inceases? The ends of he pofis ae showed in Fig. 8 when v inceases, in Fig. 9 when v 3 inceases. As befoe, he end of v is siila o v and v 4 is nealy he sae as v 3. In he picue,,,, oal sand fo he pofis of he anufacue, ecycle R, ecycle R and he su of he, especively. 570 Fig. 9: Pofis when v 3 inceases In Fig. 8, when v inceases and each a ciical poin, he pofis of he anufacue, ecycle R, ecycle R and he oal pofi all begin o fall. The ciical poin value is also he bifucaion poin in Fig. and he poin when he Maxiu Lyapunov index equals zeo in Fig. 4. This eans ha, if he anufacue adjuss is decision vaiable oo fas, he syse becoes chaos, he pofis of all he ones will decease and i s bad fo he whole syse. In Fig. 9, when v 3 inceases and each a ciical poin, he pofis of he anufacue, ecycle R and he oal pofi all fall, bu he pofi of ecycle R inceases. The ciical poin value is also he one whee syse changes fo sabiliy o chaos. This eans ecycle R can pofi fo ake disode, bu he ohes behalf will be haed. This phenoenon clais he necessiy of conac coodinaion and i is ipoan.
