The first model is a game-theoretic variant of the well-known Steiner forest problem, and one is interested in an optimal sharing of the cost of the Steiner forest. The author provides (and partially exactly characterizes) network structures which allow for cost-minimal pure Nash equilibria. The second model is motivated from privatized public roads, in which private, selfishly acting firms build roads, and as compensation for their investment, are allowed to set prices for using the roads. For a basic model of this situation, the author shows existence and uniqueness of pure Nash equilibria. The existence result requires a non-standard proof approach since techniques like Kakutani?s fixed point theorem cannot be applied directly. Die Autorin Anja Schedel received her PhD from the University of Augsburg in Germany. She is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Augsburg. Her main research interests lie within the field of algorithmic game theory and include, in particular, cost sharing, bilevel optimization, and flows over time. 410 0$aMathematische Optimierung und Wirtschaftsmathematik / Mathematical Optimization and Economathematics,$x2523-7934 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aAlgorithms 606 $aMathematics 606 $aContinuous Optimization 606 $aAlgorithms 606 $aApplications of Mathematics 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 0$aAlgorithms. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 14$aContinuous Optimization. 615 24$aAlgorithms. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 676 $a332.415 700 $aSchedel$b Anja$0909922 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910488693003321 996 $aCost Sharing, Capacity Investment and Pricing in Networks$92036189 997 $aUNINA
