Abstract

We study a collaborative multicommodity flow game where individual players own capacity on the edges of the network and share this capacity to deliver commodities. We present membership mechanisms, by adopting a rationality based approach using notions from game theory and inverse optimization, to allocate benefits among the players in such a game.
