Cooperative networks games with elastic demands
RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle, Tome 41 (2007) no. 4, pp. 345-360.

We present here a pricing model which is an extension of the cooperative game concept and which includes a notion of elastic demand. We present some existence results as well as an algorithm, and we conclude by discussing a specific problem related to network pricing.
