Cooperative aspects of multiple criteria decision making with respect to cost allocation in a network will be studied. The vector valued costs of a graph that connects a group of geographically scattered users to a common source have to be distributed among the users. Here a specific class of...

A symmetric network consists of a set of positions and a set of bilateral links between these positions. Examples of such networks are exchange networks, communication networks, disease transmission networks, control networks etc. For every symmetric network we define a cooperative transferable...

Covert organizations are constantly faced with a tradeoff between secrecy and operational effciency. Lindelauf, Borm and Hamers (2008) developed a theoretical framework to determine optimal homogeneous networks taking the above mentioned considerations explicitly into account. In this paper this...
