From a special class of TU games with information cost, given by the problem of sharing the costs of facilities among users, we build a noncooperative game in which every player asks for the assessment of whom the users are. We analyze two models, "naming" game and majority decision game: the...

Description of the papers presented in 2014/Vol. 24/No. 4

In 2013, the International Game Theory Review published two special issues on open problems in cooperative games: the first regarding theory (Fragnelli and Gambarelli, 2013a) and the second applications (Fragnelli and Gambarelli, 2013b). In this paper, our aim is to present some problems...

Kalai and Zemel introduced a class of flow-games showing that these games have a non-empty core and that a minimum cut corresponds to a core allocation.  We consider flow-games with a finite number of players on a network with infinitely many arcs: assuming that the total sum of the capacities...

In this paper we deal with a cost allocation problem arising in a consortium for urban solid wastes collection and disposal. In particular, we consider the question of allocating the costs directly to the citizens in a fair way. The approach proposed is based on a game theoretic model that is...
