Abstract

This work analyzes so-called connection scheduling problems (CSPs), a type of interactive Operations Research problem that combines elements from minimum cost spanning tree problems and sequencing problems. Given a graph, our goal is twofold: firstly, to establish an optimal connection order among players to minimize the overall cost of connecting them to a source, and secondly, to develop a cost allocation strategy for this optimal order among the involved players. We focus specifically on CSPs on trees, for which we propose a recursive solving method integrated with an allocation approach.
