Abstract:
This thesis deals with interactive behavior in conflict situations. The first chapters consider several issues in relation to bankruptcy theory. Thereafter, several operations research problems are modeled within the framework of cooperative game theory. The main focus is on what is optimal for a group of cooperating players and how to divide cost savings or benefits achieved by cooperation. Finally, the last chapter is about non-cooperative game theory, treating properness and protectiveness in two person multicriteria games.
