We give a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for a minimum‐cost spanning tree game introduced by Bird to be submodular (or convex). When the cost is restricted to two values, we give a characterization of submodular minimum‐cost spanning tree games. We also discuss algorithmic issues.Copyright © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
