Balancedness of Integer Domination Games

چکیده
In this paper, we consider cooperative games arising from integer domination problem on graphs. We introduce two games, {k}-domination game and its monotonic relaxed game, and focus on their cores. We first give characterizations of the cores and the relationship between them. Furthermore, a common necessary and sufficient condition for the balancedness of both games is obtained by making use of the technique of linear programming and its duality.

Balancedness and Concavity of Fractional Domination Games
In this paper, we introduce a fractional domination game arising from fractional domination problems on graphs and focus on its balancedness and concavity. We first characterize the core of the fractional domination game and show that its core is always non-empty taking use of dual theory of linear programming. Furthermore we study concavity of this game.
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 کاملDominating set games
In this paper we study cooperative cost games arising from domination problems on graphs. We introduce three games to model the cost allocation problem and we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the balancedness of all three games. Furthermore we study concavity of these games.
متن کاملDomination Games on In nite Graphs
We consider two innnite games, played on a countable graph G given with an integer vertex labelling. One player seeks to construct a ray (a one-way innnite path) in G, so that the ray's labels dominate or elude domination by an integer sequence being constructed by another player. For each game, we give a structural characterization of the graphs on which one player or the other can win, provid...
متن کاملDomination Games on Infinite Graphs
We consider two infinite games, played on a countable graph G given with an integer vertex labelling. One player seeks to construct a ray (a one-way infinite path) in G, so that the ray’s labels dominate or elude domination by an integer sequence being constructed by another player. For each game, we give a structural characterization of the graphs on which one player or the other can win, prov...
