Computing the nucleolus of weighted voting games in pseudo-polynomial time

چکیده
In cooperative games, players have a possibility to form different coalitions. This leads the questions about ways motivate all collaborate, i.e. so-called grand coalition. One of such is captured by concept nucleolus, which dates back Babylonian Talmud. Weighted voting games class that are often used model decision making processes in parliaments. this paper, we provide an algorithm for computing nucleolus instance weighted game pseudo-polynomial time. resolves open question posed Elkind et al. (Ann Math Artif Intell 56(2), 109–131, 2007).

Computing the nucleolus of weighted voting games
Weighted voting games (WVG) are coalitional games in which an agent’s contribution to a coalition is given by his weight, and a coalition wins if its total weight meets or exceeds a given quota. These games model decision-making in political bodies as well as collaboration and surplus division in multiagent domains. The computational complexity of various solution concepts for weighted voting g...
متن کاملComputing the Nucleolus of Weighted Cooperative Matching Games in Polynomial Time
We provide an efficient algorithm for computing the nucleolus for an instance of a weighted cooperative matching game. This resolves a long-standing open question of [Kern and Paulusma, Mathematics of Operations Research, 2003].
متن کاملA Pseudo-Polynomial Algorithm for Computing Power Indices in Graph-Restricted Weighted Voting Games
Weighted voting games allow for studying the distribution of power between agents in situations of collective decision making. While the conventional version of these games assumes that any agent is always ready to cooperate with all others, recently, more involved models have been proposed, where cooperation is subject to restrictions. Following Myerson [1977], such restrictions are typically ...
متن کاملComputing voting power in easy weighted voting games
Weighted voting games are ubiquitous mathematical models which are used in economics, political science, neuroscience, threshold logic, reliability theory and distributed systems. They model situations where agents with variable voting weight vote in favour of or against a decision. A coalition of agents is winning if and only if the sum of weights of the coalition exceeds or equals a specified...
متن کاملFalse-Name Manipulation in Weighted Voting Games Is Hard for Probabilistic Polynomial Time
False-name manipulation refers to the question of whether a player in a weighted voting game can increase her power by splitting into several players and distributing her weight among these false identities. Analogously to this splitting problem, the beneficial merging problem asks whether a coalition of players can increase their power in a weighted voting game by merging their weights. Aziz e...
