In such games, the grand coalition $[n]$ may be forbidden, and, thus, it is a non-trivial problem to study the total number of payoff $v_{\\Delta}$ of a cooperative game $(\\Delta, v)$. We address this question in the more general setting, by characterizing the individual values that satisfy the general efficient requirement $v_{\\Delta}^{gen}$ for a generic efficiency assignment. The traditional and the probabilistic efficiency are treated as a special case of this general efficiency. Finally, we introduce a new notion of efficiency arising from the combinatorial and topological property of the simplicial complex $\\Delta$. The efficiency in this scenario is called simplicial and we characterize the individual values fulfilling this constraint.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-01-03T10:31:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05B35", "05E45", "91A10", "91A35", "91A80" ], "keywords": [ "simplicial complex", "efficiency axioms", "individual values", "cooperative game", "general efficient requirement" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
