Parameter settings for case generation.

Type	Parameter generation
Random	𝑈𝑖𝑗=𝑈[0,100]
	𝑐𝑗=𝑈[0.05,0.2]∗max^𝐼𝑖=1𝑈𝑖𝑗
	𝐷𝑖=𝑈[50,100]
Rich-poor	𝑈𝑖𝑗=(𝑏𝑖𝑗+100)∗𝑖/𝐼, 𝑏𝑖𝑗=𝑈[0,100]
	𝑐𝑗=𝑈[0.05,0.2]∗max^𝐼𝑖=1𝑈𝑖𝑗
	𝐷𝑖=[𝑓𝑖𝑗∗(𝐼−𝑖)/𝐼]+50, 𝑓𝑖𝑗=𝑈[0,100]
Quality	𝑈𝑖𝑗=𝑏𝑖𝑗∗𝑐𝑗, 𝑏𝑖𝑗=𝑈[1.0,1.5]
	𝑐𝑗=𝑈[5,20]
	𝐷𝑖=𝑈[50,100]

Note: 𝑈[𝑎,𝑏] represents a stochastic variable following a uniform distribution on [𝑎,𝑏].
