Public congestion network situations and related games
This article analyses congestion in network situations from a cooperative game theoretic perspective. In network situations, players have to connect themselves to a source. As we consider publicly available networks, any group of players is allowed to use the entire network to establish their connections. We deal with the problem of finding an optimal network and discuss the associated cost all...
متن کاملNetwork Flow Problems and Congestion Games: Complexity and Approximation Results
In this thesis we examine four network flow problems arising in the study of transportation, communication, and water networks. The first of these problems is the Integer Equal Flow problem, a network flow variant in which some arcs are restricted to carry equal amounts of flow. Our main contribution is that this problem is not approximable within a factor of 2n(1− , for any fixed > 0, where n ...

This paper analyzes congestion effects on network situations from a cooperative game theoretic perspective. In network situations players have to connect themselves to a source. Since we consider publicly available networks any group of players is allowed to use the entire network to establish their connection. We deal with the problem of finding an optimal network, the main focus of this paper...
متن کاملNetwork topology and equilibrium existence in weighted network congestion games
Every finite noncooperative game can be presented as a weighted network congestion game, and also as a network congestion game with player-specific costs. In the first presentation, different players may contribute differently to congestion, and in the second, they are differently (negatively) affected by it. This paper shows that the topology of the underlying (undirected two-terminal) network...
متن کاملSpectrum Sharing as Network Congestion Games
In this paper, we propose and analyze the properties of a new class of games the network congestion game (NCG), which is a generalization of the classical congestion game (CG). In a classical congestion game, multiple users share the same set of resources and a user’s payoff for using any resource is a function of the total number of users sharing it. This game enjoys some very appealing proper...
