Solution Concepts for Coalitional Games in Constructing Networks

摘要

In this paper, we shall discuss solution concepts for coalitional games in constructing networks. We define the demand allocation using a concept of the demand operation which was defined in our previous paper. A sufficient condition that demand allocations belong to the core of coalitional games in constructing networks has been shown. By using this theorem, we have obtained a sufficient condition for the core of coalitional games in constructing networks with public vertices to be nonempty.
