Abstract

The paper presents a solution to the problem of cost allocation for a communication network in which the connection values between two nodes are defined by a fuzzy utility function. The utility function can refer to both existing communication nodes and new node proposals. For the allocation mechanism, the authors used the fuzzy Shapley value built on a complete coalition of all paths connecting the root of the tree with all nodes of the given network.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A broader look at the value of Shapley in such situations can be found, for example, in the work of Gladysz and Mercik (2018).

  2. 2.

    It is worth noting that there are many possible solutions related to rejection of the same probability of coalition implementation and modification of Shapley value (e.g. Gambarelli and Owen (1994); Mercik (2015, 2016) or Forlicz et al. (2018).
