چکیده

In an invited essay in OR/MS Today, June 2000, entitled, Navigating the Network Economy http://www.lionhrtpub.com/orms/orms-6-00/nagurney.html I argued that we were in a new era of Supernetworks. Since that time the world has been transformed through events of historical proportions which have dramatically and vividly reinforced the dependence of our societies and economies on critical infrastructure networks including physical networks; i.e., transportation and logistical networks, communication networks, energy and power networks, as well as more abstract networks comprising: financial networks, environmental networks, social, and knowledge networks, and combinations thereof. Indeed, recent historical events have graphically illustrated the interconnectedness, interdependence, and vulnerability of organizations, businesses, and other enterprises on critical network infrastructure systems. The decisions made by the users of the networks, in turn, affect not only the users themselves but others, as well, in terms of safety and security, profits and costs, timeliness of deliveries, the quality of the environment, etc. Hence, the understanding of the impacts of human decision-making on such networks is of paramount importance.

Supernetwork representations are useful pedagogical device to interpret various combined travel choice models as an extension of the fixed demand traffic assignment problem. Based on three proposed criteria, this paper reviews current su...

Networks and farsighted stability

We make two main contributions to the theory of economic and social network formation. First, we introduce the notion of a network formation network or a supernetwork. Supernetworks provide a framework in which we can formally define and analyze farsightedness in network formation. Second, we introduce a new notion of equilibrium corresponding to farsightedness. In particular, we introduce the ...
