Galeotti et al. (2006, [2]) show that all minimal networks can be strict Nash in two-way flow models with full parameter heterogeneity while only inward pointing stars and the empty network can be strict Nash in the homogeneous parameter model of Bala and Goyal (2000, [1]). In this note we show that the introduction of partner heterogeneity plays a major role in substantially increasing the set...

This paper considers the allocation of maximum reliability to a complex system, while minimizing the cost of the system, a type of multi-objective optimization problem (MOOP). Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) have been shown in the last few years as powerful techniques to solve MOOP .This paper successfully applies a Nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) technique to o...
