This paper surveys the research area of cooperative games associated with several types of
operations research problems in which various decision makers (players) are involved …

The study of the theory of games was started in Von Neumann (1928), but the development
of the theory of games was accelerated after the publication of the classical book" Theory of …

In this book applications of cooperative game theory that arise from combinatorial
optimization problems are described. It is well known that the mathematical modeling of …

We study a logistics network in which shippers collaborate and bundle their shipment
requests to negotiate better rates with a common carrier. In this setting, shippers can identify …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses network models in economics. The discipline of
economics is broadly concerned with the allocation of scarce resources. The fundamental …

A class of characteristic function games arising from maximum flow problems is introduced
and is shown to coincide with the class of totally balanced games. The proof relies on the …

Decision makers in managerial and public organizations often encounter de cision problems
under conflict or competition, because they select strategies independently or by mutual …

A new integral for capacities is introduced and characterized. It differs from the Choquet
integral on non-convex capacities. The main feature of the new integral is concavity, which …
