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...

In this paper we consider a cost allocation problem arising in a consortium for urban solid wastes collection and disposal. A classical allocation rule is the proportional division according to the volume of wastes collected; here we propose a different allocation method, rooted in game theory,...

A class of cooperative games arising from economic and operations research situations in which agents with potential individual possibilities are connected via a hierarchy within an organization is introduced. It is shown that the games in this class form a cone which lies in the intersection of...
