Social Aware Coalition Formation with Bounded Coalition Size

International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2023
In many situations when people are assigned to coalitions the assignment must be social aware, i.e, the utility of each person is the number of friends in her coalition. Additionally, in many situations the size of each coalition should be bounded. This paper initiates the study of such coalition formation scenarios.

COALITION FORMATION GAMES: A SURVEY

International Game Theory Review, 2006
In this paper we give an overview of various methods used to study cooperation within a set of players. Besides the classical games with transferable utility and games without transferable utility, recently new models have been proposed: the coalition formation games.

On coalition formation with sparse synergies [PDF]

International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2012
We consider coalition formation problems for agents with an underlying synergistic graph, where edges between agents represent some vital synergistic link, such as communication, trust, or physical constraints. A coalition is infeasible if its members do not form a connected subgraph, meaning parts of the coalition are isolated from others.

Multiple UAV coalition formation

2008 American Control Conference, 2008
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have the potential to carry munitions in support of battlefield operations, however they have limited sensor range and can carry only small quantities of resources. Often, to fully prosecute a target, a variety of assets may be required, and it may be necessary to deliver these assets simultaneously. Therefore, a team of

Legislative Bargaining and Coalition Formation

Journal of Economic Theory, 2000
The paper studies the finite horizon version of Baron and Ferejohn's (1989) legislative bargaining model is investigated. The author shows that if there are three or more rounds of bargaining, then a continum of division s is supportable as subgame perfect equilibrium outcomes.

The Formation of the Coalition

2011
The purpose of this chapter is not to give a blow-by-blow account of the British General Election of 2010, nor to provide a chronological account of the formation of the Coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. That task has already been performed commendably (Fox, 2010; Kavanagh and Cowley, 2010; Laws, 2010; Norton, 2010; Snowdon,
