Two Values for Transferable Utility Games with Coalition and Graph Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce and characterize two new values for transferable utility games with graph restricted communication and a priori unions. Both values are obtained by applying the Shapley value to an associated TU-game. The graph-partition restricted TUgame is obtained by taking the Myerson graph restricted game and of that the Kamijo partition restricted game. In this game the dividend of any coalition that is neither a subset of a union nor a union of unions is zero. The partition-graph restricted TU-game is obtained by taking the partition restricted game and of that the graph restricted game. In this game the dividend of any coalition that is not connected in the graph is zero. We apply the values to an economic example in which the players in a union represent the cities in a country and the graph represents a network of natural gas pipelines between the cities.

The axiomatic approach to three values in games with coalition structure
We study three values for transferable utility games with coalition structure, including the Owen coalitional value and two weighted versions with weights given by the size of the coalitions. We provide three axiomatic characterizations using the properties of E¢ ciency, Linearity, Independence of Null Coalitions, and Coordination, with two versions of Balanced Contributions inside a Coalition ...
متن کاملA bargaining approach to the Owen value and the Nash solution with coalition structure1
The mechanism by Hart and Mas-Colell (1996) for non-transferable utility (NTU) games is generalized so that a coalition structure among players is taken into account. The new mechanism yields the Owen value for transferable utility (TU) games with coalition structure as well as the consistent value (Maschler and Owen 1989, 1992) for NTU games with trivial coalition structure. Furthermore, we ob...
متن کاملFuzzy transferable-utility games: a weighted allocation and related results
By considering the supreme-utilities among fuzzy sets and the weights among participants simultaneously, we introduce the supreme-weighted value on fuzzy transferable-utility games. Further, we provide some equivalent relations to characterize the family of all solutions that admit a potential on weights. We also propose the dividend approach to provide alternative viewpoint for the potential a...
متن کاملBalanced Nontransferable Utility Games in Graph Structure
By a game in coalitional structure or shortly coalitional game we mean the standard cooperative non-transferable utility game described by a nonempty set of payo®s for each coalition of players. It is well-known that balancedness is a su±cient condition for the nonemptiness of the core of such a cooperative non-transferable utility game. But any information on the internal organization of the c...
متن کاملSocial Distance Games
In this paper we introduce and analyze social distance games, a family of non-transferable utility coalitional games where an agent’s utility is a measure of closeness to the other members of the coalition. We study both social welfare maximisation and stability in these games from a graph theoretic perspective. We investigate the welfare of stable coalition structures, and propose two new solu...
