stable solutions of a multiple partners matching game in two different ways and perform a study on the core of the … the existence of a stable solution and the non-emptiness of the core, which holds in the other models with payments, is no …

-firm-buyer games have non-empty core. We show that for these games the core coincides with the classical bargaining set (Davis and …

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 …

the unique welfare distribution that is core-stable and satisfies the condition that no agent gets a utility payoff above … has an increasing benefit function (no externalities) then every weighted hierarchical solution is core-stable. In case of …

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. …

coalition forms without delay in equilibrium, expected payoffs must be in the core of the characteristic function game that …

We study linearly weighted versions of the least core and the (pre)nucleolus and investigatethe reduction possibilities … dual game. Our main results imply, for example, that if the core of the game is not empty, all dually inessential … core and the per-capita (pre)nucleolus from the dual game. This could lead to the design of polynomial time algorithms for …

We show that the core of each strongly size monotonic hedonic game is not empty and is externally stable. This is in … sharp contrast to other sufficient conditions for core non-emptiness which do not even guarantee the existence of a stable …
