The core and the Weber set for bicooperative games (Q2458424)

This note concerns the problem of the definition of solution concepts for a game. A solution concept for a class of games is a function which assigns to every game a set of real valued vectors, each one of them represents a payoff distribution among the players. This paper extends the solution concepts to bicooperative games. First the authors define the core and the Weber set. Next they introduce a special class of bicooperative games, the so-called bisupermodular games, and show that these games are the only ones in which the core and the Weber set coincide.
