Abstract :
Recently, game theoretic perspectives have been used for formulating and solving network reliability problems. These include enforcement of cooperation in ad hoc networks using bribery and punishment, and modeling network reliability as a game between a router and an imaginary tester. In this paper, we explore the formulation of these problems as optimization problems, and we numerically solve the latter problem, extending the available formulation to treat randomness in the model
