in the form of a variable price for network service is a workable tool to aid network operators in controlling Internet … traffic. We suggest that these prices should vary dynamically based on the current utilization of network resources. We show … how this responsive pricing puts control of network service back where it belongs: with the users. …

We present a model of network formation where entering nodes find other nodes to link to both completely at random and … features that have been found to characterize large socially generated networks. Moreover, we derive the distribution of degree … lower tail may exhibit substantial curvature, just as in observed networks. We then fit the model to data from six networks …

This paper studies the formation of networks among individuals. The focus is on the compatibility of overall societal … subject, and also provides new results on the existence of pairwise-stable networks and the relationship between pairwise … stable and efficient networks in a variety of contexts and under several definitions of efficiency. …

We analyze the formation of networks among individuals. In particular, we examine the existence of networks that are … stable networks one can restrict focus on a component-wise egalitarian allocation of value. We show that when such strongly … stable networks exist they coincide with the set of efficient networks (those maximizing the total productive value). We show …

A network consisting of suppliers, agents, and distributors is considered. The flow of orders and deliveries between … the different elements are determined. A monotonic game for the customers in the network is described. …

This article proposes a normative model for the cluster articulation in Cova da Beira (Portugal), based on network …
