On core stability, vital coalitions, and extendability (Q1036591): Difference between revisions

Let \((N,v)\) be a TU game in coalition function form. The main result of the paper is a sufficient condition for \((N, v)\) to have a stable core: vital coalitions and exact coalitions are extendable. Also, vital-exact extendability is a necessary condition for core stability for matching games, simple flow games, and minimum coloring games.
