Abstract: | We study the algorithmic issues of finding the nucleolus of a flow game. The flow game is a cooperative game defined on a network D = (V,E,w). The player set is E and the value of a coalition S is defined as the value of the maximum flow from source to sink in the subnetwork induced by S. We show that the nucleolus of the flow game defined on a simple network (w(e) = 1 for each e in E) can be computed in polynomial time by a linear program duality approach, settling a twenty-three years old conjecture by Kalai and Zemel. In contrast, we prove that both computation and recognition of the nucleolus are NP-hard for flow games with general capacity. |
