A Note on the Core of TU-cooperative Games with Multiple Membership Externalities
نویسنده
چکیده
A generalization of transferable utility cooperative games from the functional forms introduced by von Neumann and Morgenstern (1944, Theory of Games and Economic Behavior) and Lucas and Thrall (1963, Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 10, 281–298) is proposed to allow for multiple membership. The definition of the core is adapted analogously and the possibilities for the cross-cutting of contractual arrangements are illustrated and discussed.

Transferable Utility Planning Games
Connecting between standard AI planning constructs and a classical cooperative model of transferable-utility coalition games, we introduce the notion of transferable-utility (TU) planning games. The key representational property of these games is that coalitions are valued implicitly based on their ability to carry out efficient joint plans. On the side of the expressiveness, we show that exist...
متن کاملA note on the monotonicity and superadditivity of TU cooperative games∗
In this note we make a comparison between the class of monotonic TU cooperative games and the class of superadditive TU cooperative games. We first provide the equivalence between a weakening of the class of superadditive TU games and zero-monotonic TU games. Then, we show that zero-monotonic TU games and monotonic TU games are different classes. Finally, we show under which restrictions the cl...
متن کاملA Note on Characterizing Core stability with Fuzzy Games
This paper investigates core stability of cooperative (TU) games via a fuzzy extension of the totally balanced cover of a cooperative game. The stability of the core of the fuzzy extension of a game, the concave extension, is shown to reflect the core stability of the original game and vice versa. Stability of the core is then shown to be equivalent to the existence of an equilibrium of a certa...
متن کاملCooperative Benefit and Cost Games under Fairness Concerns
Solution concepts in cooperative games are based on either cost games or benefit games. Although cost games and benefit games are strategically equivalent, that is not the case in general for solution concepts. Motivated by this important observation, a new property called invariance property with respect to benefit/cost allocation is introduced in this paper. Since such a property can be regar...
متن کاملSequential coalition formation and the core in the presence of externalities
The sequential coalition formation model of Bloch (1996) to solve cooperative games with externalities exhibits some anomalies when related to classical concepts. We elaborate on these problems, define a modification of Bloch’s model and show that its order-independent equilibria coincide with the (pessimistic) recursive core (Kóczy, 2007). Subject classification: C71, C72
