locationgamer: Identification of Location Game Equilibria in Networks

Identification of equilibrium locations in location games (Hotelling (1929) <doi:10.2307/2224214>). In these games, two competing actors place customer-serving units in two locations simultaneously. Customers make the decision to visit the location that is closest to them. The functions in this package include Prim algorithm (Prim (1957) <doi:10.1002/j.1538-7305.1957.tb01515.x>) to find the minimum spanning tree connecting all network vertices, an implementation of Dijkstra algorithm (Dijkstra (1959) <doi:10.1007/BF01386390>) to find the shortest distance and path between any two vertices, a self-developed algorithm using elimination of purely dominated strategies to find the equilibrium, and several plotting functions.
