We present a computational analysis of a game theoretic approach to a cost allocation problem arising from a graph optimization problem, referred to as the fixed cost spanning forest (FCSF) problem. The customers in the FCSF problem, represented by nodes in a graph G, are in need of service that can be produced at some facilities yet to be constructed. The cost allocation problem is concerned with the fair distribution of the cost of providing the service among customers. We formulate this cost allocation problem as a cooperative game, referred to as the FCSF game. In general, the core of a FCSF game may be empty.
