“…Instead of using proportionality, an egalitarian allocation could be also considered. A similar situation may be found in Meca et al (2004) (see also Fiestras-Janeiro et al (2011)) where an inventory cost game is presented in order to allocate the benefits of cooperation. They use a proportional approach in order to define a solution that is proved to be on the core of the cooperative game.…”

The problem of sharing a cost M among n individuals, identified by some characteristic c i ∈ R + , appears in many real situations. Two important proposals on how to share the cost are the egalitarian and the proportional solutions. In different situations a combination of both distributions provides an interesting approach to the cost sharing problem. In this paper we obtain a family of (compromise) solutions associated to the Perron' eigenvectors of Levinger's transformations of a characteristics matrix A. This family includes both the egalitarian and proportional solutions, as well as a set of suitable intermediate proposals, which we analyze in some specific contexts, as claims problems and inventory cost games.

Several researches have been done to optimize different flows in blood supply chain. However, the use of game theory in this sense is rare. The following work focus on the case of Morocco, consisting of 16 Regional Blood Transfusion Centers (RBTC) centralized around a National Blood Transfusion and Hematology Center (NBTHC). An approach based on hybridized game theory is adopted to form core and strongly stable coalitions and optimize as much as possible the transport cost. Firstly, the optimal cost of each coalition of the 33 possible coalitions; that the Director of NBTHC validated; is computed by using a mixed integer linear Programming model (MILP). Then these costs are introduced as data of two other MILP to define which structure minimizes the total cost allocated to each RTBC while maintaining core stability, in the case of the first MILP, and strong equilibrium in the case of the second. The VRPPDTW is also introduced within each coalition in order to optimize the cost of transport more. General TermsMixed integer linear programming, logistics, game theory.

“…Theories of coalition formation were presented in [3][4][5]. In the second stage, the final determined coalition negotiates with MA to reach an agreement using Stackelberg game ( [6][7]). MA announces his strategy to the MSAs at first, and then MSA chooses his best response to MA's decision.…”

Abstract. This paper focuses on the single-issue negotiation between Manufacture Agent (MA) and Material Supplier Agent (MSA) of the supply chain. MSA resorts to find partners to cooperate when it cannot finish the order independently. A two stage negotiation protocol is proposed. The cooperative game is combined with MA-Stackelberg game to resolve the negotiation problem. It is used to establish the coalitions. Then, the final determined coalition negotiates with MA to reach an agreement using the Stackelberg game. Protocols without concession and with concession are respectively discussed. Simulations and comparisons are provided to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed protocol.
