Influence of actors in alliance game based on social network analysis theory and its application

Abstract

Shapley value reflects the influence of the actors in alliance game. Traditional method of calculating the Shapley value takes the actors' absolute power only. In this paper, Social Network Analysis (SNA) method is introduced to concern about the interactive function. The traditional Shapley value is modified by relatively point centrality. An example given at the end of the paper shoes the process of the method. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
