Shapley-Based Stackelberg Leadership Formation in Networks

Abstract

In the given research we study a leadership formation of the most influential nodes in networks. Specifically, we analyze the competition between a leader and a follower based on the Stackelberg leadership model. Applying the concept of Shapley value to measure node’s importance, we represent the mechanism of Shapley-based Stackelberg leadership formation in networks. The approach is tested and represented in tabular and graphical formats.
