-- imputations belonging to the core -- is, while almost as well known, an overly complex, NP-hard problem, even for modern … supercomputers. The issue becomes uncertain because, among other issues, it is unknown whether the core is non-empty. In the proposed … cooperative game, under the name of singles, the presence of non-empty collections of outcomes (payoffs) similar to the core (say …

We study von Neumann Morgenstern stable sets for one-to-one matching problems under the assumption of coalitional … matchings that belong to the core. We also show that the pairwise and coalitional analogues of the level-1 farsighted set yield … the core as the unique prediction …
