Abstract

In the presented paper, we consider dynamic network games with coalition structure in which players cooperate to get the best outcomes. As solution the Owen value is proposed. To simplify the calculations the new characteristic function is introduced based on the possibility of cutting connections by players outside the coalition. For a special case, comparison of the Owen value with other solutions is done.

Keywords:
