Abstract

In the logistics network with infinite suppliers, distributors and retailers, there are infinite flows through the network, such as information or commodity. Sometimes the different users in the logistics network share the same flow in bulk and the different flows are used by the same user. In the paper, we consider the fuzzy cooperative game with infinite players to solve the cost problem of logistics network in bulk. Therefore, we present a model of games and distribute the cost of flow by the fuzzy Aumman-Shapley value. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the correction and efficiency of the approach.
