Why is it important?

The framework is implemented in a simulation of a circular city where the density of customers is inversely proportional to the distance from the city center and where suppliers have a fixed pricing level strategy. Suppliers are removed when their profits become negative and new suppliers are created. We study how strategies survive and new strategies emerge.
