In this paper we consider a natural generalization of standard tree games where the underlying structure is a directed acyclic graph. We analyze the properties of the game and illustrate its relation with other graph based cost games. We show that although the game is not convex its core is...

We provide a new modus operandi for the computation of the nucleolus in cooperative games with transferable utility. Using the concept of dual game we extend the theory of characterization sets. Dually essential and dually saturated coalitions determine both the core and the nucleolus in...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a novel family of games related to congested networks. Traffic routing has been extensively analyzed from the non-cooperative aspect. A common assumption is that each individual optimizes his route in the network selfishly. However looking at the same...
