Coalitional skill games

چکیده
We consider Coalitional Skill Games (CSGs), a simple model of cooperation among agents. This is a restricted form of coalitional games, where each agent has a set of skills that are required to complete various tasks. Each task requires a set of skills in order to be completed, and a coalition can accomplish the task only if the coalition’s agents cover the set of required skills for the task. The gain for a coalition depends only on the subset of tasks it can complete. We consider the computational complexity of several problems in CSGs, for example, testing if an agent is a dummy or veto agent, computing the core of the game or testing whether the core is empty, and finding the Shapley value or Banzhaf power index of agents.

An Efficient Vector-Based Representation for Coalitional Games
We propose a new representation for coalitional games, called the coalitional skill vector model, where there is a set of skills in the system, and each agent has a skill vector—a vector consisting of values that reflect the agents’ level in different skills. Furthermore, there is a set of goals, each with requirements expressed in terms of the minimum skill level necessary to achieve the goal....
متن کاملCoalitional Structure Generation in Skill Games
We consider optimizing the coalition structure in Coalitional Skill Games (CSGs), a succinct representation of coalitional games (Bachrach and Rosenschein 2008). In CSGs, the value of a coalition depends on the tasks its members can achieve. The tasks require various skills to complete them, and agents may have different skill sets. The optimal coalition structure is a partition of the agents t...

متن کاملSpanning connectivity games
The Banzhaf index, Shapley-Shubik index and other voting power indices measure the importance of a player in a coalitional game. We consider a simple coalitional game called the spanning connectivity game (SCG) based on an undirected, unweighted multigraph, where edges are players. We examine the computational complexity of computing the voting power indices of edges in the SCG. It is shown tha...
متن کاملComplexity of coalition structure generation
We revisit the coalition structure generation problem in which the goal is to partition the players into exhaustive and disjoint coalitions so as to maximize the social welfare. One of our key results is a general polynomial-time algorithm to solve the problem for all monotonic coalitional games provided that player types are known and the number of player types is bounded by a constant. As a c...
