Marginality and convexity in partition function form games

From MaRDI portal





The authors consider an order on the set of embedded coalitions that allows defining new notions of superadditivity and convexity of games in partition function form. The first main result uses non-decreasing contributions to coalitions of increasing size, and can thus be considered parallel to the classic result for cooperative games without externalities. The second main result is based on the standard convexity of associated games without externalities defined using a partition of the player set. In particular, some of the generalizations of the Shapley value to games in partition function form lie within the cores of specific classic games when the original game is convex.
