This paper studies sequencing situations with non-linear cost functions. We show that the neighbor switching gains are now time-dependent, in contrast to the standard sequencing situations with linear cost functions, which complicate finding an optimal order and stable allocations. We derive...

shown that the core of a TU-game coincides with the core of the corresponding minimal rights game. Moreover, the paper … introduces the notion of the k-core cover as an extension of the core cover. The k-core cover of a TU-game consists of all … minimal rights game. It is shown that the core of a TU-game with player set N coincides with the L|N |/2-̦core cover …

This paper studies pillage games (Jordan in J Econ Theory 131.1:26-44, 2006, "Pillage and property"), which are well …: (i) only eight configurations are possible for the core, which contains at most six allocations; (ii) for each core …. Our analysis suggests that non-linear power functions may offer better empirical tests of pillage game theory. …

In view of the nature of pursuing profit, a selfish coefficient function is employed to describe the degrees of selfishness of players in different coalitions, which is the desired rate of return to the worth of coalitions. This function brings in the concept of individual expected reward to...
