The family of cost monotonic and cost additive rules in minimum cost spanning tree problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we define a new family of rules in minimum cost spanning tree problems related with Kruskal’s algorithm. We characterize this family with a cost monotonicity property and a cost additivity property. Adding the property of core selection (or separability) to the previous characterization, we obtain the family of obligation rules defined in Tijs et al (2006).

A Metaheuristic Algorithm for the Minimum Routing Cost Spanning Tree Problem
The routing cost of a spanning tree in a weighted and connected graph is defined as the total length of paths between all pairs of vertices. The objective of the minimum routing cost spanning tree problem is to find a spanning tree such that its routing cost is minimum. This is an NP-Hard problem that we present a GRASP with path-relinking metaheuristic algorithm for it. GRASP is a multi-start ...
متن کاملObligation rules for minimum cost spanning tree situations and their monotonicity properties
We introduce the class of Obligation rules for minimum cost spanning tree situations. The main result of this paper is that such rules are cost monotonic and induce also population monotonic allocation schemes. Another characteristic of Obligation rules is that they assign to a minimum cost spanning tree situation a vector of cost contributions which can be obtained as product of a double stoch...
متن کاملA generalization of obligation rules for minimum cost spanning tree problems
Tijs et al (2006) introduce the family of obligation rules for minimum cost spanning tree problems. We give a generalization of such family. We prove that our family coincides with the set of rules satisfying an additivity property and a cost monotonicity property. We also provide two new characterizations for the family of obligation rules using the previous properties. In the rst one we add ...
متن کاملSequential contributions rules for minimum cost spanning tree problems
We introduce a family of sequential contributions rules for minimum cost spanning tree problems. Each member of the family assigns an agent some part of his immediate connection cost and all of his followers are equally responsible for the remaining part. We characterize the family by imposing the axioms of efficiency, non-negativity, independence of following costs, group independence, and wea...
متن کاملOn Some Properties of Cost Allocation Rules in Minimum Cost Spanning Tree Problems
We consider four cost allocation rules in minimum cost spanning tree problems. These rules were introduced by Bird (1976), Dutta and Kar (2004), Kar (2002), and Feltkamp, Tijs and Muto (1994), respectively. We give a list of desirable properties and we study which properties are satisfied by these rules.
