Submodularity of some classes of the combinatorial optimization games
نویسنده
چکیده
Submodularity (or concavity) is considered as an important property in the field of cooperative game theory. In this article, we characterize submodular minimum coloring games and submodular minimum vertex cover games. These characterizations immediately show that it can be decided in polynomial time that the minimum coloring game or the minimum vertex cover game on a given graph is submodular or not. Related to these results, the Shapley values are also investigated. key words: combinatorial optimization, game theory, submodularity

Nowadays submodular functions optimization has been attracted by many researchers. Pendant pairs of a symmetric...
متن کاملSubmodularity of Some Classes of Combinatorial Optimization Games
Some situations concerning cost allocation are formulated as combinatorial optimization games. We consider a minimum coloring game and a minimum vertex cover game. For a minimum coloring game, Deng{Ibaraki{Nagamochi 1] showed that deciding the core nonemptiness of a given minimum coloring game is NP-complete, which implies that a good characterization of balanced minimum coloring games is unlik...
متن کاملUniversally Balanced Combinatorial Optimization Games
This article surveys studies on universally balanced properties of cooperative games defined in a succinct form. In particular, we focus on combinatorial optimization games in which the values to coalitions are defined through linear optimization programs, possibly combinatorial, that is subject to integer constraints. In economic settings, the integer requirement reflects some forms of indivis...
متن کاملSeveral Aspects of Antimatroids and Convex Geometries Master's Thesis
Convexity is important in several elds, and we have some theories on it. In this thesis, we discuss a kind of combinatorial convexity, in particular, antimatroids and convex geometries. An antimatroid is a combinatorial abstraction of convexity. It has some di erent origins; by Dilworth in lattice theory, by Edelman and Jamison in the notions of convexity, by Korte{Lov asz who were motivated by...
