Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a kind of restricted core stability for flow games, which is a generalization of the core stability of simple flow games. We first give a characterization on the restricted core, and then propose a sufficient and necessary condition on the restricted core stability for flow games associated with general networks. This condition yields that testing the restricted core stability can be done in polynomial time.
